Zinneken Pis

Aha!
Finally, to complete the tour of «pis» is Zinneke Pis, the peeing pup statue. This particular statue doesn’t rival in fame of the Manneken Pis. and probably not even Jeanneke, and is relatively young in terms of statue ages around Belgium– erected in 1998, but regardless, was a fun find. We ended up searching around St. Catherine for awhile, since I wasn’t really able to use my GPS, and eventually gave up… We then backtracked and on one more search realized we just didn’t go far enough to Rue des Chartreux.
For the most part he’s just stationed in his spot, not really something people seem to pay any mind to. It’s just a very quirky statue, and I love how it gives the city some flavor. Even though I was searching for it, I was still kinda surprised to just run smack dab into it after looking for so long.
I guess, it should be noted, he’s not particularly easy to find, but if you put yourself in the area, he’s not all that hard to find either. He is on Rue des Chartreux and on a corner/​intersection. Nothing particularly special. No bars, nothing protecting him. A comical but sweet statue of a dog doing what dogs do and providing a little humor to the city of Brussels.

The family dog! He is back — when I visited two months back, apparently someone had run over him and so happy to see him back on his regular street corner.
I like this statue heaps more than of Mannekin /​Janneke Pis.

Pissing statue #3
This was a little bit tricky to find. A few locals remember seeing it but can’t recall where it’s located exactly. It’s on a street corner. I was at St. Catherine’s and just started walking aimlessly. There were some quirky stores along the way. A gallery of art using hair as medium.
I kept walking and not really looking for anything in particular. Then there was a statue of a dog taking a piss. No crowd whatsoever. I was able to take pictures from different angles without any photobombers. It’s free, not locked in a cage and isn’t way up high (like Janneke Pis and Manneken Pis)…you can actually touch it.

Bruselas es la ciudad de los meones, eso está claro. Este es el tercer hermano meón, un perrito callejero que muestra el desprecio a los transeuntes y a los pocos turistas que saben de su existencia, ya que aún es poco conocido aunque esta estatua de bronce se encuentra en la intersección de estas calles desde el año 1998.

Manneken Pis et Jeanneke Pis ont un pti chien qui pisse, j’ai nommé Zinneken Pis of course!

J’adore ce que provoque ses sculptures dans la ville, sur ses habitants, l’architecture elle-​même, la vie de quartier en change réellement! Perso, j’adore…
Pour ceux qui né connaîtraient pas encore, à rajouter dans votre to-​do-​list les gars,))
