The English Pug and the French Poodle, Bronze sculptures in Place d'Armes, Montreal, Canada.

Two separate bronze figures stand on opposite corners of a building, each holding a different dog breed: a pug and a poodle.

Created in 2013 by Marc-André J Fortier, these sculptures reflect the historical relationship between English and French communities in Montreal.

The sculptures depict an English man gazing at Notre-Dame Basilica and a French woman looking at Bank of Montreal, representing societal contrasts.

Located at the intersection of rue Notre-Dame Ouest and rue Saint-Jacques, the sculptures measure 305 centimeters in height.

The dogs in the sculpture display interest in each other while their owners remain unaware, symbolizing potential cultural connections.
