@vonny,
The Girl and i were in Schiller Park in Columbus, Ohio once with the boy dog, Mr. Bailey. We were all relaxing on a bench, not far from the statue of Schiller. Then Mr. Bailey noticed the statue. He sat up, became very alert, and then began barking furiously at Schiller. We had to move to another bench where he couldn't see the statue before he would calm down. We decided he must not like German poets.
