no dogs
i collect pictures of dog signs, so it's delovely when i come across one i haven't already found. like patch here. he looks like he might be half cow half dog. or perhaps he's a dog dressed as a cow to avoid the canine restriction.
complicated dog instructions
this is crying out for a venn diagram
dan's dog doo sign pictures
Dan says these are from Washington DC, outside the Indian Embassy with Gandhi in the background
beware of dogs
good generic advice
the smallest dog
look at this wee chap. he's tinsy
water for dogs
my colleague simon sent me this. he said there was no water. or dogs.
dog exclusion zone
two things here. very long tail on the dog, and a defined 10 metre exclusion zone of any playground. is this a worldwide restriction, in which case how come we've not seen more of these signs ?
i wonder if the tail is a 10metre 'yard stick' so you can measure how far away from any playground it is ?
dogs prohibited
a lovely old time no dogs sign
dog walking allowed on the queen's birthday
apologies if there's duplication here, getting a bit confused about what went on funkypancake and which one went on the other blog. but this sign seems to suggest you can walk your dog on the beach to celebrate the queen's birthday
dog with a strange body
there's something not quite right with this dog. especially round the lower tummy area. best not to ask too many questions.
and the chap above limping to the information kiosk could do with an extra arm
great pointy dog sign
this is a classic dog sign. look at the protrusion - it looks like it's being poked with a giant finger.
good reason for no dogs
little spotted is another way of seeing 'seldom seen'. as no dog excuses go, this is a good one.
very detailed signage
there's something very exciting about the level of detail in kiwi and signs. the skateboarder on the right is fantastic
sorry no dogs
very cute
dog dispenser
a dog dispenser to help clean up dog dispenses
attractive village dog sign
loveliness with a bin and a dog sign
dog collar
an excellent dog sign from new zealand here. but just look what the owner is wearing.
not content with cutting themselves in to quaters and having one arm longer than the other, they've also taken to wearing a rather natty shirt collar. a dog collar perhaps ?
two tone dog zone
two slightly different dog signs in the same area. interesting.
dogs on a lead only
good official use of the word scooper
strange dog sign
regular reader jenny sent me this remarkable dog sign. definitely worth clicking to see it in more detail. She asks what sort of dog it is. i've no idea - have you ?
jaunty dog mess bin
with a fancy bandana and everything. they care about this stuff more in new zealand
dog poo
eat organic ?
statement about dogs
good short statement there. with a random capital L. there should be a form of punishment for people who misuse capitals.
christmas day dog bin
here's a picture i took on christmas day of a dog bin. dog waste is accepted in this bin
bike on railings
i walked my old route to my old office yesterday and it was great to pass the old ways and see the things that used to inspire my pictures. like low sunlight through railings.
dog waste only
why is there a cat on this dog picture ?
empty bowl for thirsty dogs
have a look at what they could have had
various not things
no dogs, but also don't let them cook in the car. they should be in the kitchen with all the other chefs.
andrew marr
andrew marr was doing some program on darwin at the henley show. no idea why. but there we go. he was playing it very cool, but we stopped and watched
day 11 pembrokeshire county show part 3
of course there were animals at the show too
and i loved how they covered a bull's head with rosettes.
because you don't want to upset a bull by sticking things all over its face do you ? note the slobber
no one likes being called heavy.
ducks with a nice long necks. i think they could do with some arms stuck on the sides of their bodies
this was a bit unfortunate. it was a cage with something hidden under some sawdust. no one likes a loser
there were some more serious birds outside
this little barn owl brought his barn owl caravan
and he was keeping an eye on me
here is a sign i can agree with.

and some of the animals seemed slightly larger than life
day 8 picton castle and 'dog messes'
day 8 was particularly wet so we went to picton castle with it's gardens and er castle. we had a great guided tour of the downstairs of the castle and even got to see some rooms off the usual tourist route due to the lack of visitors !
we spent a good number of hours there wandering round the garden, tearoom etc and the girls did a quiz round the garden.
but the best thing was the sign above which was in their loos. is this not the best toilet sign ever ? brilliant use of 'dog messes'
no dogs
too many bones you see
dog signs involving good human movement
this chaps going to do his back in
and this chap is trying to encourage his dog to jump up and use the poo bin like a human toilet. probably.
a selection of austrian dog signs
i've been in belgium for a couple of days but am back.
to celebrate here is a medley of dog photo signs i took when i was in vienna nearly two years ago i never got round to posting !
to celebrate here is a medley of dog photo signs i took when i was in vienna nearly two years ago i never got round to posting !
i've no idea if this last one is a dog related sign, but it had the same word on it as one of the other dog signs above.
mark's welsh dog signs
these quality welsh dog signs were sent to me by my colleague mark. read his excellent photo blog here
dog inside
don't put your fingers in the mail slot
clean it up
brilliant news - a load of fresh stencil dog signs are out on the streets (literally) around west london
polish dog signs
a nice polish dog sign. next to some other dogs on a sign
and here's a classic no dogs/bikes combo
glove and poo bin
do you ever wonder how i manage to get some amazing photos (i'm attempted to be funny by the way) ? you can see how it's done with this fantastic shot that tony took of me in action. it's all about the dress sense.
dogs can kill kiwi
by strange coincidence, here's another no dogs sign from another helen. what are the chances of that ?
ancient dog signs
i went to helen's leaving do almost exactly two years ago and she's finally got round to sending me the pictures. i had asked for them because they included the 'no dogs' sign.
thanks helen - and i thought i was a bit behind with my photos !
this is not a dog
i'm no good with animals, but even i know this isn't a picture of dog
dog hooplah
is this chap throwing a hoop on to the dogs head ?
so good i shot it twice in two different places
as also seen here
dog fouling - irresponsible
this stick is slightly too small meaning you have to spin your head around to read it properly
bruggen pooping dog
mark sent me this sign of a dog doing its thing in bruggen (germany)
more belgian dog signs
belgian's make the world's best dog signs. take this one:
the dog looks slightly bonkers
ot how about this one randomly stuck wonkyways on the window ?
domicat's grave dog sign
here's a picture from domicat who saw this dog sign in a grave yard (taken with his her camera phone)
dog breedism and a selection of signs
happy man with signs
this is a bit weird though. it's dog breedism.
fantastic dog sign
it's rare to find a dog sign in this country which is beyond fantastic. but this one is !
the hounslow anti-dog poo brigade
"people who let their dogs foul pavements are dirty bad-mannered, unhygienic and under Byelaw 15 can be fined £20":
i've put on lots of weight since i started driving to work. i'm now walking up to 40km/week instead of up to 80km/week previously so it's not surprising. anyway, i've starting making an effort to do a 30 minute speed walk during the day when possible so my body (and brain) doesn't seize up.
here are a number of dog signs all within 5 minutes walk of gillette corner (which is near my office). i get the feeling someone in hounslow council is a little anti-dog poo.
dogs lead to woodlands
if you follow a dogs on, it'll lead you to the woodlands. cuz dogs love trees.
belgian dog sign
if you look carefully, there's a dog sign on this sign
lots of belgian dog signs
i've taken so may dog signs that it's difficult to know which ones are duplicates, but i think the first couple here are new.
this one IS a repeat, but it's just SO good ! click on it to admire it in its full strainy goodness
leash-curb and clean up
jenny sent me this photo of a person cleaning up after their dog in a very uncomfortable way. it loks like they are using a pokey stick and a plant pot.
pedestrians - do not leave dogs unattended in cars
... but pedestrians don't have cars (with them) do they ?
dog toilet
how brilliant is this ? it's a dog sign (of a varietty i haven't seen before) stuck on a human toilet door.
they should stick human signs on dog toilets. or perhaps they already do do.
blue dog sign
a standard dog sign, but with a blue background
jane and a dog sign
i can't be sure but i think this is a dog boutique.
everyone knows a bootique sells shoes.
keep dogs on boats
but what if you don't have a boat ?
greek dog sign
there are packs of wild dogs in athens apparently. i haven't seen any though.
Danish dog sign
Reader Hels sent me this great dog sign photo.
she says "It was in a park in Copenhagen, Denmark. No idea what the English translation is, though! Also, the question mark wasn't part of the picture, it had been added by someone with a black marker "
ken says 'no dogs'
and a close up of the sign:
kezia finds a dog sign
a close up:
cyber dog
a great new dog sign, but also a great background (which was a giant cardboard display cutout)
dog fouling incident
new regular reader stephanie sent me this fantastic dog sign informing us of a Fouling Incident. She found this sign on the Isle of Man in October 2004. I wonder if the incident was ever resolved ?
the plastic dog's mess bag ultimatum
take your mess bags home or don't use them at all. thank you for your cooperation
please stop your dog from urinating on my scooter
is this the best dog sign ever ? i think it might be. the 'merry christmas' silvery tape is a nice touch
in context
dirty, bad-manered and unhygienic
for an official sign this is quite aggressive. in a good way.
nervous dog
jewel also sent me this fantatic wobbly dog being tapped from behind with a spade !
game over
i've already captured the dog sign, so let's concentrate on the bottom one which summarises england's football position.
esther saw that lots of houses still have their England flags up a day later, and she suggested that the owners probably hadn't heard the result yet.
luxembourgian dog sign
i think this dog might be a robot
dog coiffuring
for once i used my smell checker on a post and it accused me of writting in Danish which i thought was telling (double dutch perhaps ?)
sac-o-mat
if you look closely this is an action shot
high dog poo sign
now this is an interesting dog poo sign as it shows someone about to step in one. which is a nice graphic reminder of why cleaning up poo is a good plan.
this sign was stuck high up a wall which meant you couldn't look at it and see where you are putting your feet, which is a shame as you are more likely to stand in some canine plop that way i would have thought. oh well.
new zealish dog sign
(from paul yonks ago)
beware of the dog
'of the' in small.
new zealish dog sign
no dog sign from new zealand (from Paul)
good dog poo sign
here is a regional dog sign
created by and for local people
steaming pile and a big dog
michelle sent me this sign which she spotted in Fielding Park, Sudbury, Ontario. which is in canada i think.
emily-rebecca (invisible), kezia and a dog sign
this is a pretty historic photo. kezia spotted the dog sign and said "do you want to take a photo dad", so i said yes.
she ran up to it and posed in front of it. just as i was about to take the photo she said "make sure you get emily-rebecca in", so i did.
emily rebecca (not sure about the hyphen) is kezia's (invisible) friend who came on the walk with us. this is her first appearance in a photo.
castle closed on thurs & fri
the castle is closed on thursdays and fridays, so if you are thinking of invading, best to wait until the weekend or early next week
doggy do's and don'ts
i'm not too clear on the apostrophe etiquette here. any thoughts ?
into the inn
this is like a demonstration sentence for how to include the words in and inn in a sentence.
private amenity lands
i've no idea what amenity land is.
a new dog sign
look, a brand new british dog sign. i suspect this is quite an old one actually, but it's new to us
and here it is in situ
use this bin
we've had this dog sign before, but it was in the early days, and this is on a black bin with a yellow lid.
things to note are the shape of the person's head, their crouching position and the words 'use this bin' which are quite aggressive
dogs & cycles not allowed in the rose garden
dogs on bikes are of course welcome anywhere
place the waste
dog owners must place their pets waste in the bin provided
here is the dog waste bin
but you can't get to it as it's padlocked in this enclosed area
cotswold wildlife park
we went for a family outing to the Cotswold Wildlife Park yesterday and it was very good.
i knew it would be good when i saw this sign, which covers so many different categories and includes the word 'poop' ! Expect lots of pictures of animals over the next few days.
red scarf made from shoe heels
here's a sign from a german escalator. there's a dog sign in there, but the most intriguing one is the bottom right. it looks like her red scarf is made from the same material as her shoe heel. crazy belgians.
sausage dog, upsway down cigarette and a bike sign
this is a great sign medley. you've got a long sausage dog at the top (rarely seen in dog signs), a cigarette sign the wrong way up (unless the smoke is being blown downwards by an over head fan and a rather compact no bikes sign.
all good stuff.
no dogs or people
there's a bit of a theme in this trip to brussels !
a jolly belgium dog sign
seems cats are banned too.
uneatable
i sent kezia to stand in front of this sign as i was too scared.
dogs on leads!
quite an agressive sign here. all in capitals. injury and death in red. any underlined. the result is slightly obscure though.
the heaviest dog sign ?
it turned out there were loads of these dog signs all over edinburgh, most (if not all?) had their weight on the side.
i wasn't sure whether these posts were actually for doggy use ?
odd shaped head
this chap has a very strange head and oddly bent feet. and he seems to be picking up that poo without any gloves on.
it similar to this one and these ones.
three back legs
a strange dog, but also no eyes and ears (and what's going on with the chap bottom right?)
no low flying dogs
here's a very high dog sign. what would a dog being doing so high up ?
estonian dog sign
helen sent me these fantastic dog signs from estonia.
i like this dog which seems a bit random of leg. the sign in the background is also very good.
and here's a dog sign for a hotel door:
the amazing austrian dog meddly
just look at this beauty. dogs everywhere ! a fitting finale to the austrian dog sign bonanza
no smoking guide dogs
it's fine for everyone else to smoke, except guide dogs. of all the dogs available to modern man i would have thought that a guide dog would be the least likely to smoke as it understands better than other dogs about medical related issues.
but i could be wrong. perhaps the pressure of the job gets to them. we know st bernards turn to drink, so perhaps guide dogs find relief through smoking.
little and large
will we ever tire of viennese dog signs ? i know i won't.
no dog ends
i don't normally post the same dog twice, but this chap is standing next to a cigarette thus allowing me to make a pun around the concept of 'dog ends'. here's the original version of this chap
and here's another varient:
friendly beach
i like this sign. but it would have been better to have a full stop after the word dog so it would have said:
This is a dog. Friendly beach.
church signs
here's a sign at the entrance to the cathedral in Vienna. note the dog sign at the bottom but the one directly above it quite interesting. no people with sticks for arms allowed in.
dog gloves
it's dog gloves. a classic two-category photo.
mr pootle's pictures
keith (the other half of pootlecat) sent me these two picture.
this is a madrid dog sign
and this is a more bizarre curiosity. keith remarked on the hands of the child, but i think the person doing the funky dancing on the bottom left is much more interesting !
a nice jolly dog
with a P
and with a white background
doggy thought waves
i've only just worked out what this sign means. i thought it was a dog looking at the floor with a funny hairstyle.
this sign is on the Vienna U-bahn and i've been after it for a few days now.
vienna is the dog sign capital of the world
there's just SO many good dog signs in vienna. there's loads more to show you !
dog sign with a view
how's this for a dog sign with a terific view of some mountains in the lake district ?
the sign itself is quite intriguing. a giant hand with short fingers, an equally large bag and a departing red dog.
i'm this is a dog-waste sign, rather than a dog catching sign ? i can't be sure though
web dog sign
here is a dog sign has been graffiti'd and posted to fantastic website Pictures of Walls. this one is here
i found it via Russell's blog (Russell reads this blog i think, so "hello Russell" if you're passing).
a different dog
not a great one this as it was taken out of a car window as we speeded by. but if you look above the standard 'infinity dog sign' you can see a different sort of dog.
say NO to strangers
it's a tarantino version of this one.
diana memorial garden
you might have heard about the diana memorial garden ? it's been a bit of a classic - originally a nice idea but went all a bit wrong when people slipped in the water channel. oh well
it's actually looking very nice now
and see how many categories i can put it in: no dogs, no cycles, people, royalty and slippery floor
bag it and bin it
devonshire poop slogan from andrew
tipperary
it's a long way to tipperary, but if you do go you should look out for this dog sign. a standard north european dog picture, but with some nice local information around it.
i like the way it makes it clear it's addressed to the dog owners rather than the dogs themselves.
this photo was sent to me by Jenny (a great artist - check out her webpage).
She says "Here's one from a B&B in Ireland - the woman who ran the place was very stern, and one of the other patrons nicknamed her "The Warden" --- this is a sign out front of the property"
strange dog and another dog sign site
here is a strange dog. it's legs don't look right to me. but then i know little about much.
on a related note, i got an email from Sergei, the chap that runs this website. it's another collection of dog signs and there's surprising little overlap between our two sites !
thanks
no bathing fishing or dogs
with an island in the background
with a building in the background
