Can’t wait to come back to London and see it.

You can instantly tell which ones would be yappy, smelly, frisky, precious, or just plain cute… My favourites are Audrey and
Abbie as I have a soft for greyhound type dogs, but I think the portrait of Cookie is a particularly brilliant use of the mosaic tiles (especially the teeth!) Keep up the good work…

Please continue to shine a light on their unique talents. I insist. And my black cats, Satchmo and Seymour insist. Oh wait……Surely there needs to be a cat-centric mosaic also.

Full of charm and liveliness, it captures the joie de vivre all these jolly dogs feel as they are let off the lead to scamper about. It makes me want to live in Hackney (well, almost).

It is fabulous. If I ever needed an incentive to save my pennies so I could spend at least one day in London, *this* is it. I have to see that mosaic in person, even if my current “cane” can’t join me.

Does the public realize what absolute masterpieces these are?

Please post a September photo of the models beside their immortalized selfs if possible?
