Larry La Trobe, Bronze dog sculpture in City Square, Melbourne, Australia
The life-size bronze statue depicting a dingo-like dog stands at the corner of Collins and Swanston Streets near Melbourne Town Hall.
Created by artist Pamela Irving in 1992, the original sculpture was stolen in 1995 and replaced with a new casting in 1996.
The sculpture combines the name of Irving's uncle Larry with La Trobe, the first Lieutenant-Governor of Victoria, connecting personal and municipal history.
The bronze statue measures 70 centimeters in height and stands on the footpath of Swanston Street, making it accessible for photographs.
The replacement statue received a different color treatment from the original, giving the new Larry La Trobe its own identity.
