A canine 🐶 connection.
Edinburgh and San Diego, California, share a twinning link with a unique twist. Each city is home to a famous dog: Edinburgh’s loyal and beloved Greyfriar's Bobby and San Diego’s equally beloved vagabond dog, Bum.
In recognition of these canine heroes, a statue of Bobby was presented to San Diego and this statue of Bum was gifted in return. The dogs represent the spirit of a twinning link friendship,
loyalty and shared experience.
Bum died 1898, aged 12 years. Sculpted by Jessica McCain, USA
