The best part is, this is not an old tradition. It was started by a group of students who polished the dog making it look like it has been touched over a long time.
Can't be. Look at St Peter's feet in the Vatican. They're basically gone after centuries of people touching them. If old boy here had the same treatment, he'd be nothing but a gold smear

Whenever I go past (and there's no queue), I make sure to touch something else than the dog.
As you can see, still a long ways to go =/

Are you the one that has partially polished the butt of the woman on the right?

I have certainly touched there at times, but it's a team effort 💪

I saw this in person when I visited Czechia last year. So many people pat/rub the dog.

Who touched the knight's boobs and knees???

Iron armor was often "well-rounded" (regardless of the body shape) in order to better deflect attacking blades to the side.

Nothing is more deserving of love in this world than a newborn baby or a good dog.

You should see the statue of Juliette in Verona. People rub her for luck too....

Not to be pedantic, but isn't it cast in bronze and therefore isn't "glowing gold"? 😜

yeah, also it’s not a ‘carving’
