This is one of several sculptures by artist Stephen Cruise that are on tall posts running along beside the streetcar right of way along Spadina Ave south of Bloor St. I have always liked this one and have enjoyed watching the patina develop over the years. I'll show you its location tomorrow.

I also like this sculpture as it reminds me of the Cocker Spaniel my family had when I was a kid. Dad's army buddies gave him the dog when he got out of the Army, and they named the dog Major, so he would have a Major to boss around.
I love the sweet pup sculpture! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy Easter weekend.
Spadina. I wonder when I was last there. Decades ago, but how many?
What a great sculpture. It looks so realistic, like he's just waiting for a pat on the head.
It really is neat and a pretty color. I like the way you photographed it too!
Absolutely adorable!
A beautiful sculpture of a beautiful dog.
I’ve always loved how public art like this becomes part of the landscape over time—looking forward to seeing where it’s placed!
So lovely...and that blue 💙 sky!
That's such a friendly statue. I'd like to see more.
Wonderfully sculpted!
Happy Easter!
Is there a special story about this dog?
That is neat.
Hello Red :)
It is a very nice sculpture of what I perceive as a spaniel, and it's gained a lovely colour over time.
All the best
