The motive that drives us to make this sculpture and donate it to the city is to make visible the cruelty of the abandonment of pets and the suffering that causes them, raising awareness in society about this problem that affects them all. It is also a tribute to the people who care for the animals that others abandoned.

It measures 90x70x30 cm and weighs 70 kg. The piece is on a base covered with ceramic with the front engraving of a dedication on behalf of the city of Valencia and headed with the municipal coat of arms and on the side is engraved the poem ‘de carrer’ by the same author.

On a large cubic pedestal we find the figures of two animals in a seated position and huddled together, a dog and a cat. The dog is named Tristán and the cat Soledad. These are figures cast in bronze with a patina that simulates the sculpture in stone. The work has been donated by the sculptor Elena Negueroles Colomer (Alzira-Valencia 1949) to the Valencia City Council. The sculptural group was inaugurated on March 4, 2018 and has the artist’s signature engraved on one of the dog’s legs.
