Roundabout dog

Roundabout dog on the Vallarondellen roundabout, in Linköping, Östergötland, Sweden

A roundabout dog (Swedish: rondellhund) 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 recurrences. 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.[1] A Swedish tabloid paper placed one at Piccadilly Circus.[2]
