The dog's name: Finn McCool.
The statue dog that sits alongside the statue Thomas Whalen in Albany's Tricentennial Park has been wearing a scarf for some time now. It's been at least a few weeks.
We hope he gets a change of wardrobe soon. The weather's finally warming up.
That is all. Happy Friday.

Maybe drape that scarf across the mayor...
One summer I worked across the street and would notice lot's of people in shorts or skirts burning their backsides on Mr. Whalen's lap.
