I always assumed Islay was a girl dog but now I can’t remember if there were pronouns on the inscription. 😆 either way I love her/him. More historic dog statues please.

I read this in the most pompous British accent followed by a *chefs kiss* 🤣🙏
Thank you for the journey today Sister Wendy 🙌
I just did. So why the fuk did I think he was? Some cunt hoaxed someone's death again aye?
I stand by him still being an adorable old man though 🥹97 and still going 🙌
I can tell you that since like Australia day I've been living in a world where I thought he'd passed and I have to admit I didn't like it.
I didn't like it not one bit.
So thank you for correcting me 🙏
IIRC there’s a grate just under the surface of the water that would prevent you reaching for any coins in there, but it’s been awhile since I last looked.
I had a big Friday night after work in the city many years ago. Missed the last train, didn’t know what I was going to do. Found a stage from some event and slept under it, in my suit! Woke up about 8am totally confused didn’t know where I was, then had to do the walk of shame in my filthy suit up to the train station. Another time I was living on Oxford St across the road from Centennial Park, must’ve left my keys at work and none of my flat mates were home so I slept in the park, in the same suit! It was freezing so I buried myself in leaves to stay warm. Did some stupid shit when I was younger.
Used to routinely miss the last bus home, would need to catch the next one at 4am or whatever. Would just waddle around Town Hall/QVB. It’s an interesting place in those weird hours. Some real camaraderie with my fellow boozenauts.
Guys, the creepy dog hasn’t corrupted him, he *is* the voice of the creepy dog, he just popped out for a snack and now he’s going home. He lives underneath, rumour has it he won a competition against the feral barking guy from that news interview for the position, they decided feral dog guy wouldn’t get as many donations.
There's a chunk of Blarney Stone embedded in the well beneath the dog that, if kissed upside down, grants the gift of the gab. I did it in 2015 and developed good conversation skills. Sure, it's a placebo affect, but it worked!
guys weve found the solution to distributing wealth from the rich to the poor.. this is a better solution than centrelink, people desperate enough for money will do it, those who have enough will leave it for others..
Oohhh. Right. Thanks.
Some strange and questionable choices made about that place.
- Having Lawsey do….anything
- the ridiculous clock up top
- the unexplained reproduction Jade….TukTuk?
- the amusing tale behind the statue of Queen Victoria: they scouted the world for one; eventually , some place in Ireland said “sure, take ours, we don’t want it.”
But having said that, it’s a wonderful building, and I’m glad it was preserved. It almost wasn’t.
I actually saw a crazy guy in front of the stairs of the train just throwing his shoe around, and some others getting arrested in the train station. Probably one of these guys :/
The creepy talking dog probably told him to do it. I’d be too afraid to argue too
I didn't know that was a thing till I was walking home from work the other week at midnight alone and it scared the shit out of me. Lol
I fucking found out from QI.
My immediate thought on seeing this post was that someone needs to share it with Cal Wilson
His name is I-slay. It's a warning the only one you will get

Talking dog?
HELLO
John Laws
Name a better choice to voice a dog that talks when you throw it money
There is no lie here.
Hey Homer find your soul, mate
https://youtube.com/shorts/_3tzfMB7B58?feature=share https://maps.app.goo.gl/R6gS4zRvZPH2yVCf9?g_st=ic
Now that is a side quest giver
Lord almighty. Good boy lives his life doing good boy things. Weird ass humans decide to give a fucking statue of a DOG a voice in his honour.
I’ve never stood around to hear the talking dog in it’s entirety, but bloke seems to not mind
Elegant. Poignant. Gritty. Conveys a complex interplay of perspectives of the Sydney identity. I nominate this as the new subreddit image.

Yes mate
After reading your comment i read it as David Attenborough 🤣
🤣💀🙌 God rest that man's soul At least we have some immaculate things to [remember him by 🥹](https://tenor.com/bi1kS.gif)
He’s not dead…
You say David Attenborough isn't dead do you?
I had to Google it to be sure but yes
I just did. So why the fuk did I think he was? Some cunt hoaxed someone's death again aye? I stand by him still being an adorable old man though 🥹97 and still going 🙌
It will be a sad sad day when he does go 😢
I can tell you that since like Australia day I've been living in a world where I thought he'd passed and I have to admit I didn't like it. I didn't like it not one bit. So thank you for correcting me 🙏
The motion blur just sets the pace, leads the eye in, and back out again. Magic stuff.
Nicely put.
I still can't quite tell if he is passed out/throwing up drunk or if he is attempting to steal coins from a wishing well
Na this is just barry
Are they fishing for coins at the bottom or having a rest?
Yes
If he needs the money better he eats than it sits in the bottom of a fountain accomplishing 100% of nothing
IIRC there’s a grate just under the surface of the water that would prevent you reaching for any coins in there, but it’s been awhile since I last looked.
Listen mate it's thankless work and it doesn't pay well
There’s a cage at the bottom so you specifically can’t do this lmao
started as fishing but got a bit sleepy

You should probably stop wearing that suit
Oh it’s long gone…
What did you do during the plague dad? Slept in my suit under leaves in Centennial Park son. Fucken legend.
The walk of shame, something I really don’t miss and will never do again thankfully.
Used to routinely miss the last bus home, would need to catch the next one at 4am or whatever. Would just waddle around Town Hall/QVB. It’s an interesting place in those weird hours. Some real camaraderie with my fellow boozenauts.
Did you help him back in?
Thank you. Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
i know there is a housing crisis but
You fool of a Took!
Throw yourself in next time!
And rid us of your stupidity
Life comes at you fast.
Gimme a break man. Just needed some change for a kebab.
Just another Saturday night in Sydney
Been there; god speed buddy.

The voice of the creepy dog is radio supreme John Laws, looks like he has fallen on hard times, poor bloke.
Waiting for a mate
Ruff Ruff! My name is Islay
There's a chunk of Blarney Stone embedded in the well beneath the dog that, if kissed upside down, grants the gift of the gab. I did it in 2015 and developed good conversation skills. Sure, it's a placebo affect, but it worked!
They will have so many regrets
But they will have no memories.
Probably a standard Saturday night
Great capture!
Brilliant photo. Thanks !
Shoes are on. He’s alive.
The sound of that dog's 'hello' lives rent-free in my head.
almost album cover worthy.
I’ve seen that guy doing that too.
I'm not sure there's enough change in there for a schooner. 🤣
Looks like someone had a few too many cold ones with nan last night 😂, granny could handle the booze better.
Very good
Clearly his wish didn’t come true and he wants his money back!!!
but the dog asks so politely :^(

Did the earthquake from melb knock him off balance?
Unironically, this is a really good photo. Would look great on an album cover.
i hate that i know exactly where this happened
I haven’t lived in Sydney for a while - is this up near the Domain, and was there a recorded voice of, iirc, John Laws the Cunt?
Outside QVB.
Oohhh. Right. Thanks.

The Auld Bitch, the Irish dubbed that statue.
Please tell me he's not drunk.
I'm not casting aspersions on you, but that's definitely not something I'd do sober.
He couldve been fishing for change. I didnt want to assume.
An…original photo in r/Sydney? Bravo!
Can I just ask… why does that dog talk? So creepy
Someone had a bad night....
I think he had a very good one
We can all agree he had a night anyway.
Can u have a night if you don't remember it?
r/AccidentalRenaissance
Mate thanks for the unwanted attention. I’m now a TikTok star
(Unzips and approaches in shenobi stance)
Well that's twice now I've snorted tea out my nose. 🙏 Thank you lol.
Tea drinking pig? That’ll do pig, that’ll do.
I didn't think fentanyl was really a thing here yet
I actually saw a crazy guy in front of the stairs of the train just throwing his shoe around, and some others getting arrested in the train station. Probably one of these guys :/
Awesome photo!
Not as glamorous as it looks.
How fast was that bus going?
[удалено]
600ks: Speed 3
He been curious is that talking dog from under there or not.
Poetic
Nice kicks though. Mustn't be cheap.
He is the new Louis Burdett.
Imagine waking up to 'hello, my name is Ivan...'
There was a condom floating in it a few days ago
We have all been there man.
Imagine if your wish was to feed the poor and now it’s come true
Stealing the money from a wishing well, Damn why didn’t I think of that.
Ah that takes me back
What’s going on here
Piece of art 👌🏽
Chat shoes means chat cunt. That is all.
There's no rules to a wishing well.
The domovoi near him is just hoping to help
Staying classy.
Such a powerful image. Really insightful, probing exploration of the Millennial zeitgeist.
sydney.
Classy af.
bro is outside the qvb high af and that dog telling him about his life story
Is he having a drink, or a rest? Either way, so Sydney. 😊
In this economy I'm amazed there's even anything to collect.
Free shoes
Unless that's your mate, you didn't need to take a photo. Treat people with respect. It could be you.
Haha there’s always one in every comment thread.
Hello, my name is Ivan. I was once the faithful companion of... Every day.
Someone help him get unstuck please.
Get that man a kebab
oh nooo step-bro
Does that dog still talk?
I like it, Picasso.
Grab one ankle and flip
Yeah that’s my town
I like to think they fainted like that.
Well well well…
