Corgis on High Street

September 29, 2007  

I used to walk past these corgi’s every day on my way to work, and as a dog lover they always brought a smile to my face. They were installed to coincide with the 50th jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. As New Zealand is a member of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth is also the Queen of New Zealand. And, the queen is well known for her corgis. The corgi at the back is sniffing a dropped ice cream.

Not everyone likes them, but I think they’re cute!

    What fun! Why corgis, I wonder. I stayed, years ago, with a corgi breeder in Christchurch. Coincidence with your photo…

    Queen Elizabeth is very famous for her many corgis and doxie-corgis (Dorgis). These statues are very fitting for her jubilee.
