Coinciding with International Dog Day, the mural which is painted by internationally-renowned urban artist Aches, features a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever and a Labrador.
Located on Virginia Road within the town’s Victoria Quarter, the almost three-dimensional mural is typical of Dublin-based Ache’s style, who uses a layered colour separation technique in his work.
The mural is dedicated to Guide Dogs, a national charity which was founded in New Brighton in 1931 by Rosamund Bond and Muriel Crooke. 90 years on and they continue their work today by giving people with sight loss the confidence to get out and about safely and are world leaders in puppy socialisation: breeding and training more dogs than any other organisation in the world.
