Our daughter loved the Hairy McLary stories. Even if you're not a New Zealander, and particularly if you have young kids, this sculpture on the Tauranga waterfront is well worth a visit.

Grandson loved climbing over , on and around the dogs. He is a bit too young to know the characters but he will certainly be introduced to them.

These bronze statues of the characters from Hairy Maclary are a great place to visit right by the water.

On the main Strand and easy to find. Worth a look at if you are passing by. Right by the ocean. Take a photo

I did not know story till local shared it with me. Very lovely to hear it. The statues make you stop and take notice and then you hear the background

Situated on the waterfront in Tauranga these well behaved pets get plenty of attention! I personally think they are a great idea and they certainly bring a smile to your face. I do recognise a couple of others from my granddaughters books - Hercules Morse and Bitzer Maloney.

The sculptures inspired us to buy the books. Our grandchildren love the books and enjoy seeing pictures of us with the sculpture characters.
