Antony Gormley seems to have an obsession with sculptures of this type.
Just north of Liverpool at Crosby beach he has installed 100 cast iron figures all of which look out to sea.
Entitled 'Another Place' Gormley describes it thus:

Quote:
Another Place harnesses the ebb and flow of the tide to explore man's relationship with nature.
He explains: The seaside is a good place to do this. Here time is tested by tide, architecture by the elements and the prevalence of sky seems to question the earth's substance.
In this work human life is tested against planetary time.
This sculpture exposes to light and time the nakedness of a particular and peculiar body.
It is no hero, no ideal, just the industrially reproduced body of a middle-aged man trying to remain standing and trying to breathe, facing a horizon busy with ships moving materials and manufactured things around the planet.
So now you know.

It is not known whether the dog went on to express an artistic opinion.
