Het Zinneke
Het Zinneke (Brussels dialect for "the mutt"), sometimes called Zinneke Pis by analogy with Manneken Pis, is a bronze sculpture in Brussels (Belgium) erected in 1998.[1] Created by Tom Frantzen, it represents a urinating dog, along the same lines as Manneken Pis (a boy) and its derivative Jeanneke Pis (a girl).[2][3] It is an example of folk humour (zwanze) popular in Brussels.
