There was a brand new statue down on Wall Street, but this one didn't last long.
A city sculptor, Alex Gardega, claims he put a statue of a dog peeing right next to the "Fearless Girl" that was placed across from the iconic "Charging Bull" earlier in the year, the New York Post reports.
The statue is seen lifting its leg up and taking aim at the leg of the wildly popular statue of a young girl staring down Wall Street's famous "Charging Bull."
Gardega's statue is of a pug, according to the New York Post.
It has since been removed.
"I have a lot of empathy for the creator of the bull, Arturo," Gardega told NBC 4 New York in a statement early Tuesday. "I'm a pretty happy person, not seething or angry and certainly not anti-feminist. My piece is not without a sense of humor. There is plenty of room for Fearless Girl it just interferes with another artists work/vision."
The "Fearless Girl" was put in front of the "Charging Bull" for a short-term stay in March for International Women’s Day.
Mayor de Blasio had said later on that the statue can stay a little longer.
