An artwork attached to the wall above the former Pets Plus shop (currently a cafe) depicting an inverted pyramid of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits and parrots) resting on the back of an Airedale Terrier perched on two bags of pet food. The bag to the left, depicts a shining sun and the bag to the right, a bone. It was part of a 1990s plan to rejuvenate high streets around Bristol with quirky pieces of art. Sculptor Steven Joyce is also responsible for other works in Bristol, such as the fireman by the old fire station on Temple Back and Cabot on the old sock. He also created the artwork depicting three leaping fish above the entrance of the fast food shop next door to the right.
