Statue of the dog Dżok, Memorial statue at Grunwaldzkie Roundabout, Kraków, Poland
A bronze sculpture depicts a large hand embracing a dog, representing the relationship between humans and their animal companions at this location.
The monument commemorates a dog named Dżok who waited at this roundabout from 1990 to 1991 after his owner died of a heart attack.
Polish artist Bronisław Chromy created this sculpture in 2001, reflecting the connection between citizens of Kraków and their four-legged companions.
The statue stands near the Vistula River banks, with wheelchair access and clear visibility from the surrounding pedestrian paths.
A German Shepherd named Kety performed the official unveiling ceremony of this monument, adding another layer to its canine significance.
