A Four-Legged Landmark

This calm, watchful dog rested quietly on the steps beside Ljubljana's iconic Robba Fountain.

As visitors came and went with their chatter and cameras, it seemed perfectly content to simply watch the world pass by.
Sometimes the most memorable sight isn't the monument—but the peaceful soul keeping it company.

  1. The dog is positioned so similarly in the first two pictures that I thought it might be another of your statues -- a very realistic one.

    The leash looks rather casually placed around the stone outcropping. The dog doubtless knows his owner will be back for him shortly.

  2. The leash looks deliberately placed. I hope his person came back quickly.

  3. Ahh, that peaceful soul watching and waiting. Perhaps, he is the God-appointed sentinel of sanity in a world gone awry. Blessings, Veronica!

  7. I'd say a much loved dog waiting with patience and it's an aged dog.

  14. I love this. He's so patient. And the position -- instead of lying on the ground, sitting, just like a tourist!

  23. Easy to see that the photo of that Ljubljana's landmark was taken in winter, considering the clothes of the people near the fountain.
    Have a lovely weekend, Veronica.
