Pilotte est assis à proximité de son maître, il est attentif, écoute les bruits étranges et scrute l'horizon à la recherche de tout mouvement pouvant révéler la présence de toute personne mettant leur sécurité en péril. Cette sculpture a été installée sur le monument à Paul De Chomedey, sieur de Maisonneuve. Le monument est situé au milieu de la Place D'Armes, à Montréal.

«Sur le côté le côté sud-est est représenté Raphaël-Lambert Closse (1618-1662), major de la garnison et ieutenant du gouverneur. Soldat de métier, embusqué et prêt à intervenir, il a le regard tendu et retient sa chienne Pilotte, en l’entourant de son bras. »
