Inscription

Special friend Davey
In good times and bad, you were there by my side. Forever I will miss you and the friendship we had. Rest in peace, dear friend, never to be forgotten.

Most of the text is professionally carved but 'Davey' is less skillful. Something about this memorial makes us think that Davey was a pet.

EC3, St Dunstan's Hill, St Dunstan's in the East Garden

The plaque spells Thomson without a 'p' and, given the Hugh Gyle-Thompson that our researches found, we think the plaque is in error.

Ciuffo

W1, Mount Street, St George's Gardens

Our best guess is that the object is a bird bath, which if Ciuffo was a dog, is strange.
