Dog Parade

 The townhall of Amsterdam has an unique exhibition of 30 sculptures of bulldogs painted by dutch artists.
They will be brought to the hammer by an Energy Company to raise money for medicins for children with energy metabolic disease.

This one was named "Peking Dog".

This was a big one with no name, only a sign with the request not to sit on it!

This cuty is "Boeke, the red bulldog".

An update for the World Cup lovers:  The Dutch won the match against Australia with 3-2 but it was a very different match as the magical first one against Spain. Both teams played a rather rough match which was not so nice to watch.

  1. What a great display. I like the clever play on words with the Red Bull dog and the Red Bull cans around its neck.

  13. Dearest Marianne,
    What a very nobel cause to raise fund for these sick children.
    In a way those dog statues look a lot alike, except the tall one and the cute one from the red Bulldog.
    Congrats with the Dutch team winning again, however different from the previous victory over Spain.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  16. These are really cute and so whimsical. I thought "Peking Dog" was a porcupine, however! Silly me.

  17. A cute display of dogs. I like Peking Dog. Great to see they will be sold for a good cause.
    I think the Aussies gave the Dutch a surprise in the world cup. We couldn't believe that we were actually in front for a few minutes. We are out of it now but I hope your team gets to the finals. The French team demolished the Swiss so neither of our teams did well. But even Spain, the champions are out.
