New St Louis public sculpture has big boner

Riverfront Times (St. Louis alt-weekly) looks at alternate perspectives on a newly erected public sculpture.

Last month [alderman Tom] Bauer unveiled a bronze statue designed to pay homage to the borough's namesake. The sculpture, created by local artist Rudolph Torrini, features a child standing next to his devoted mutt. Innocuous enough, but when viewed in profile the dog's muzzle gives new meaning to the term "man's best friend."

"It looks like the boy has a tremendous boner!" says a concerned Dogtown resident who brought the matter to Unreal's attention. According to the woman, who didn't want her name associated with the affair, children from nearby St. James the Greater parish school are taking great pleasure in alerting residents to the statue's special feature.
