Congratulations to the city of San Jose, the sponsors and the artist, Francisco Munguía. We were strolling along the street as typical tourists and were drawn in by the colorful, whimsical sculptures. When we began translating the plaques beside each of them we were very moved. The brilliance of this exhibit is the way it draws you in to consider such a powerful, tragic issue. While you are correct in saying some of the message may be lost because most people don't realize what the exhibit represents, for those of us who spent just a few minutes longer and who can read Spanish, we found the exhibit to be genius!

I, too, hope that the exhibit helps. I also think this would be an important "traveling exhibit" as there are many countries facing similar issues. Thanks for your comment, Catherine.

Yet it draws people in through color and whimsy and compels them to understand the art, which generally leads to people's reading the descriptions. Kudos to the city of San Jose and Francisco Munguia. May this exhibit help save the lives of dogs throughout Costa Rica.
