Statue of a Shepherd

This statue, which was created by local sculptor Andy Cheese was placed in Ram's Walk Shopping Arcade in Petersfield, Hampshire when it was opened in 1993.

It caused some controversy when local farmers pointed out that not only is the breed of sheep wrong for the area, but the breed of sheep dog is also the wrong type for the area! Perhaps that's why it's difficult to find an image of this statue linked to the name of the sculpture :-)

Not my normal choice of photographic subject - but I had to do something while my wife was shopping and I enjoyed tracking down the story behind it.
