Roundabout dog

A roundabout dog (Swedish:rondellhund, originally Östgötsk rondellhund, "Östergötland roundabout dog", a pun on västgötaspets) is a form of street installation that began in Sweden during the autumn of 2006 and continued for the rest of the year. There have been sporadic subsequent occurrences. The phenomenon consists of anonymous people placing homemade dog sculptures, typically made of wood (or sometimes plastic, metal or textile) in roundabouts. Occurrences were reported all over Sweden, and the phenomenon also spread to other countries, including Spain after it was mentioned on television, PuntoDos. Swedish tabloid paper Expressen even placed one at Piccadilly Circus.
