"Nice statue of a dog Zinneke Pis be the road side. Not many people know about it. It was not busy like the Manekin Piss. A really interesting place to visit."
Joseph Dias
"Bronze sculpture of a dog doing a pee pee on a bollard. Belgian toilet humour doesn't get much better than this, unless it's Manneken pis. It's not as busy the the mischievous boy, so the wait to get a photo is very quick."
