Our son has a Newfy. They are wonderful dogs..."He followed me home, can we keep him?"
Since we're doing statues of animals, here's a couple in St. John's, Newfoundland, honouring the Greater St. John's Water Dog (foreground) and the Lesser St. John's Water Dog. You might know them as the beloved Newfoundland dog and the world's most popular breed, the Labrador Retriever. Yes, these breeds are related and originated in the same place.

true story, I work in a call center, and one day I heard a co-worker say, "Really? there's a Labrador in Canada? wow, they named it after the dog, huh?"
I was not aware of how closely they were related, however. Thanks!
