Location
Bark of the Pride is inspired by the amazing therapy dogs who visit Sheffield Children’s!
Artist Liah Edwardes runs dog life-drawing classes at The Becton Centre for staff and patients, and has seen first-hand how a little bit of creativity and a bunch of very cute pups can help to make dark days brighter, bring smiles to all and provide a moment of calm.
Liah’s design is a heartfelt thank you to the dogs who make such a big difference, including Solon, Casper and Rio – all of whom you can find on this sculpture!
