Footrot Flats

 


I spotted this dog kennel outside one of our local hardware stores. It's outside the front entrance in case customers want to let their pet rest there while they are inside. This little mural has been painted on the outside and features a border collie named "Dog" who lives on a farm. Back in the 1980s a movie was made from what was originally a comic strip "Footrot Flats" and was very popular.


Linking up with Monday Murals.

It's nice to see businesses catering to pet owners by offering a resting spot for their furry friends while they shop.
The mural adds a playful and nostalgic touch to the storefront.

Hugs and blessings, Amy
