It is bronze statue less than half a meter.
It represents a sitting dog named Ney, who lived 13 years in the flower shop in the Plaza de Lugo. It is a golden terrier.
It got its name from Napoleon's dog, but Napoleon was calm and good-natured. He let himself be loved.
Now it is also an attraction for children who as a reward if they have a snack they take them to see Ney.
It has a plaque that says "Ney, the Marshal of the Plaza de Lugo 08/25/2001 11/4/2014"
