A bronze dog figurine, I suspect that petting it brings something good depending on where you pet it. But I wouldn't dare to guess which part of the dog's body is responsible for success in a given area of life ;)

The bronze statue of a dog is located at the market square in Kazimierz Dolny, near the parish church. It was made of bronze in 2000 by sculptor Bogdan Markowski and depicts the dog Werniks, belonging to the painter Zbigniew Szczepanek. The monument commemorates the presence of dogs in the life of the town and artists, especially those associated with the Rynkowa Café. There are many legends and anecdotes surrounding the statue, and tourists customarily stroke the dog's nose for good luck. The monument has become one of Kazimierz's tourist attractions.
