[High Praise! to Mental Floss]
To understand the pug, first you need to understand the girl, go here to refresh your memory, but basically someone put a little bronze girl standing in front of Wall Street’s bronze charging bull.
When the Bull’s creator complained, the response was:
“What would you say to people who think the bull was fine on its own, and the girl changes the meaning of that statue?” Dokoupil asked Visbal.
“You know, the world changes, and women are here. We are an integral part of the business community and we’re going to be even more important tomorrow,” she responded.
Basically, “too bad, so sad, get over it.”
So now the Bull’s artist has put a little bronze dog lifting a leg towards the girl.
The response to that was… different…
Artist Installs Pug Peeing Statue Next to Fearless Girl Statue

Some people just don’t have an appreciation of art.
“So now the Bull’s artist has put a little bronze dog lifting a leg towards the girl.”
Nope, it was another artist. Charging Bull is by Arturo di Modica; Pissing Pug is by Alex Gardega. Nice to see one artist coming to the defense of another.
Ah… Sorry, I misread the article…
That made me chuckle.
Some male dogs will do that. They don’t care who it is. You have to wonder what is going through their pee brains.
If we could only pee on our politicians – like George C. Scott peed on Jack Palance in Oklahoma Crude (1973).

(YouTube doesn’t actually have a clip of it – darn. But if you’ve never seen the movie, I highly recommend it.)
Piss on you…Am workin’ fer Mel Brooks!
I still think “Fearless Girl” is a bad name. “Frozen in Fear Girl”, or “Moron Girl” both make better sense.
