Islay - Queen Victoria's Dog - Sydney, Australia - Animal Memorials on Waymarking.com

This statue represents Victoria's favorite dog. Islay, along with a statue of Queen Victoria, stand outside the beautiful and historic Queen Victoria Building in Sydney.

This is a talking dog statue. Islay is mounted on a wishing well. It’s a sandstone circle with a bronze cage on top and a bronze terrier in front. Then a familiar voice booms out: “Hello, my name is Islay. I was once the companion of the great Queen Victoria. Because of the many good deeds I have done for deaf and blind children, I have been given the power of speech.” Visitors are asked to donate coins to help deaf and blind children.
