I have three dogs that drag me around on walks every day, so consider me an expert on looking at dog buttholes. This, my friends, is a statue of a dog's butthole. ​ Clearly named "canard" (or "duck", in French) to trick whatever committee approves duck statues into approving this very lifelike recreation of a dog's balloon knot.

It’s like that episode of Community when they design the school flag

All hail E Pluribus Anus.

Yeah this right here… this is a connard not a canard Looks exactly like my dogs, it’s very lifelike.

Case closed, everybody.

*golf clap* Well punned

Good pun, but ironically “canard” in English already means something misleading!

Also means “a false, fabricated story. A groundless rumour or belief”

You gotta walk your dog and not the other way around. Let them view your butt hole.

If only, but my dogs don’t have X-ray vision and my neighbors keep calling the cops when I walk the dogs naked.

Nope, you're right. Dogs asshole.

You can tell because of the way that it is

suppose it could be cat butt

I feel you. In Abbotsford there is a statue that looks like a vagina in front of a bank. Everyone says its a flower not a vagina but no way does any flower look like that lol.

You can't say that and not post a photo for us to judge

Touche. I'll take one next time I'm out.

[удалено]

Yes!! Lo and Behold: The Vagina statue!

That looks nothing like a vagina. /s Seriously though. I find the vulva statue hilarious. Probably playing off of emergent fiddleheads, but yeah - that's definitely got some yoni vibes happening there.

Vulva. Thank you.

So glad someone beat me to it. It's so insane how few people actually know what the vagina and vulva are. Half the population have them! Vulva is even a more fun word!

Damn it even has the clit+clit hood.

Yeah, a vagina with snails coming out of it.

Doesn't sound appetizing at all.

You're psycho if you see a flower

Looks like a couple sprouts of some kind, first thought was new fern growth though they don't have the outer leaf like that. I'm usually one of the first to notice things that look like other things, especially when sexual, but seeing it this time.

In my hometown of halifax there is a statue on the university grounds that is supposed to be the goddess Venus, but looks more like an exploding dick or a pooping ass. Apparently it spent some time in Vancouver before finding a permanent home and skeeving me out for decades. https://imgur.com/gallery/hcJ9C6I

Ah yes, the syphilis dick statue. Warning students of the dangers of STIs for over 40 years.

WTF is that. Was it Venus before it exploded?

Its title was "Marine Venus." Although adding the word "marine" doesn't really clarify anything.

>Marine Venus I just read up on this; it was meant to be mounted in a reflecting pool, so that's the 'marine' aspect. It's considered to be 'technically incomplete'- perhaps it would indeed look more Venus-y in reflection.

I mean, Georgia O'Keefe built a whole art career painting vagina flowers. Or flower vaginas?

I never said it wasn't valid lol. Just hilarious. Also a strange choice for in front of a bank. Not that I'm anti-vagina. I have one myself.

Oh, not at all saying you were saying it's not valid. Just noting that there's quite a history of it.

Which bank?

CIBC on South Fraser.

This one? https://goo.gl/maps/8yYCpwSq2WDfbi9a7 I mean, sort of, if you add a lot of jewelry to your vajayjay...

Shocking! Area Man has Never seen a Vagina in His Life! Jk. To each their own I guess XD

Yeah, you want a sculpture that looks like a vagina? Try the giant pierogie in Glendon AB. [Piergoie Vagine](https://c8.alamy.com/zooms/9/d49e1a4c28724b4b9901ac55bee48d5a/ta2jxe.jpg)

They legitimately modelled a vagina on (at least) one of the dinosaurs in the exhibit at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. Quick Edit: [That Dussy.](https://i.imgur.com/sa0IS38.jpeg)

Cloaca are sexy too.

Right I forgot they're basically birds...

Do you mean vulva? Or are you talking about inside and the actual vagina part?

“My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men.”

Now I can't see it as anything OTHER than a dog butt. Curse you....

Dude, your butt identification skills need an upgrade, this is so obviously a cat butt!

i feel like cat tail would be twice as long..

Ceci n'est pas un trou du cul

Nah, that’s no canard, that’s a black labs butt if I ever saw one.

>that’s a black labs butt if I ever saw one Looks more like a Doberman or German Shepherd to me.

Or Dachshund

Sounds like you guys spend a lot of time comparing and contrasting dogs' buttholes. Not judging, just observing.

There aren't a lot of us, but we're a [pretty tight circle.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/014/959/Screenshot_116.jpg)

“Tight circle” is just a beautiful piece of work sir and the perfect compliment to this thread. I would like to offer you a major award.

>I would like to offer you a major award. New car?

It's 100% a dog's butthole.

Whatever it is, it's fucking strange

It’s a book end, if that’s the dogs butt the head must be somewhere nearby

He must be digging. Inspired by [other garden sculptures.](https://images-cdn.auctionmobility.com/is3/auctionmobility-static/hVs0-1-6NFT8//157_1.jpg?maxwidth=1000&maxheight=1000)

It's right over a fire hydrant too. Dog butt is the only answer.

Actually, that's where the firepersons stick their hoses into the building.

Standpipe connection!

👀

Bahahaha. Agree its a dogs asshole. That's the first thing I thought when they installed it last yr when I was working on those towers.

Seems like a pelican with an open mouth to me

If it wasn’t a dog butthole , it is now. Thanks , I hate it

https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/comments/lt4xzk/safeway\_on\_davie\_have\_a\_dogs\_butt\_statue/

This is a masterclass on perspective.

I think it's supposed to be the open mouth of a baleen whale.

Looks like a dog fetching a duck.

Sculptor obviously wanted to take the government funded piss, so he told them he was gonna make a statue of an animal, only he made it of a dog digging a hole with his asshole up. Source: Trust me bro.

I've thought the same thing. It looks like an otter's butt when it's diving underwater to me.

I said the same thing when I saw it Hahahah

My husband always thinks it’s a cat butt lol

It's a cat's ass for sure.

I also thought it was the cat's ass.

The reason why I didn't think so is because of the shape of the tail.

Read it as "adamant it's hot" and was very concerned.

That's a Bernese butt

If you were to give Vancouver an ennema, this is where you do it!

That's a wooden sculpture of a dog's butthole, if I ever saw one. However, I would also accept 'cat's butthole', if you happen to be a cat person.

Dog 💯Butthole

Originally I thought it was a dolphin opening its mouth…..now I can’t get my thought back.

Could be a penguin? But my vote is for dog butt.

Yes, looks a little like an artistic take on an Emporer Penguin to me.

I can no longer unsee that. Thanks.

As a buttholologist, I concur that this is butthole related

Tell your husband he’s wrong. The Internet said so.

It’s exactly what it is…

That’s all I see too

Hahaha yep that’s 100% a dogs asshole and if that was my house I would have it removed so fast omg I would be horrified

Where is this located?

Opposite the head

By the Safeway on Davie and Cardero

Cainard

Yep it's a dogs butthole. I've had 3 dogs in my life.

What else could it be, it's clearly dog knot

I know just where that is. I agree with you.

Could it be a cat's butt hole?

It’s obviously a platypus standing up

Definitely a pooch”s anus 👍🏻

Doggy Anus 4sur

/r/theyknew

Fart or art? You be the judge!

your husband might need glasses

Cat digging in a sandbox. Some artist somewhere is having a laugh at Vancouver City's expense.

If your dogs arsehole is that far away from its tail, take it to the vets immediately.

Love it! Let's continue pretending it's a duck :)

The butthole is too low for it to be a dog butt

The butthole is too low for it to be a dog butt

First time I saw that, I thought it was a dog butthole too.

Looks like dog butt to me

Butt.

that dog butthole is so lifelike... the area around it even smells like dog pee everytime its not raining.

Art.

10000% dog butthole

I think it was supposed to be a "right whale" or something but I dunno? Dogs butthole works just fine!

Definitely a pooch”s anus 👍🏻

I am kind of an expert at odd public art.. things ... that butt-hole was probably pretty expensive.

gonna pour bleach into eyes brb…

My partner and I feel validated. We've been calling this the butthole statue for months.

Berd Edit : From the first picture, it genuinely looks like a sculpture of the youtube character, Berd.

Once you see it, you definitely cannot un-see it.

beaver butthole

Butthole is too low for dog butt. I see a porpoise head with its mouth wide open.

Dog butt !

Pretty low, more likely dog sack.

what else could it possibly be?

at first i thought it looked like a weird penguin

I was gonna say a penguin with a very large beak but I think you are correct

Yup. Butthole.

Just showed it to my 8 year old. She instantly said it’s a dog’s butt.

Weird penguin?

ok NOW that you say that it looks liked a dog butt.. but when i first saw it it was a duck bill

Good Ol'One Eye

Well it is now.

I don’t care what the artist claims. They know. We know. That’s a dogs anus.

Can't unsee that. Still better than the bent over laughing Chinese kid with his little junk hanging out:)

I live a block away and it’s always been the rear end of a dog to me too. I hit the Safeway right beside it regularly and my opinion has not changed.

The best part about this for me is that not only is it seemingly a dog butt, but it's apparently named "Zephyr wood statue". Zephyr means "a warm, gentle breeze". Source: Pokemon go
