Who Created the Snowdogs Trail?
The trail was created by Wild in Art, a Whaley Bridge-based company that produces public art trails with charities, businesses and communities.
The sculptures were inspired by The Snowman and The Snowdog, an animated sequel to Raymond Briggs’ book The Snowman. In the story, a boy builds a snowman and a snowdog who come to life at midnight.
