SP0686 : Celebrity paw print

near to Birmingham, Great Britain

Celebrity paw print

This paw print in the paving is near the base of Queen Victoria's statue in Victoria Square. The story goes that during the reconstruction of the square one of the workmen was accompanied by his Black Labrador, Ebony, who had her own high-visibility vest and could often be seen carrying his tools, or relieving passers-by of chocolate!

As a mark of appreciation for her contribution this small plaque was incorporated in the finished square.

The statue can be seen in SP0686 : Are we amused?.
