After much anticipation Dame Lynley Dodd’s beloved fictional characters have finally been unveiled. The bronze sculptures, created by Brigitte Wuest, are of Hairy Maclary and eight of his friends; Scarface Claw, Slinky Malinki, Hercules Morse, Muffin McLay, Bottomley Potts, Schnitzel von Krumm, Bitzer Maloney and Zachary Quack. They take centre stage on the waterfront domain in Tauranga, New Zealand.
At the official opening Prime Minister John Key revealed the first statue, while Dame Lynley and ‘Hercules Morse model’ Lazarus watched on.
As a sponsor of the project ZiwiPeak also took part in the Family Fun Day, where members of the public were invited to attend with their dogs to check out the magnificent statues. ZiwiPeak’s “pet-selfies” were very popular with all the proud pet parents and we have had a great response on Facebook. To check them out visit our Facebook page.
