Someone touch the other tiddy too
I love how now with the patina it looks like the dog is glowing
The best part is, this is not an old tradition. It was started by a group of students who polished the dog making it look like it has been touched over a long time.
polish the dog
Is that what they’re calling it these days?
Can’t be. Look at St Peter’s feet in the Vatican. They’re basically gone after centuries of people touching them. If old boy here had the same treatment, he’d be nothing but a gold smear
Whenever I go past (and there’s no queue), I make sure to touch something else than the dog.
As you can see, still a long ways to go =/
Are you the one that has partially polished the butt of the woman on the right?
I have certainly touched there at times, but it’s a team effort 💪
I saw this in person when I visited Czechia last year. So many people pat/rub the dog.
This picture I took a couple of months ago seemed relevant
Who touched the knight’s boobs and knees???
Edit: ok nvm, that’s a dad’s bod
Iron armor was often “well-rounded” (regardless of the body shape) in order to better deflect attacking blades to the side.
Yeah, like a dad’s bod.
[Crysis suit voice] MAXIMUM DEFLECTION
Boobs sculpture is like 30m next to this one (maybe 40m? its always super crowded there)
You should see the statue of Juliette in Verona. People rub her for luck too…
Molly Malone in Dublin, too.
Nothing is more deserving of love in this world than a newborn baby or a good dog.
Dogs like pets.
Not to be pedantic, but isn’t it cast in bronze and therefore isn’t “glowing gold”? 😜
yeah, also it’s not a ‘carving’
Is that person in the background about to get head? Lol
There’s a good polished doggo in Brussels too:
