In de stad Doetinchem is een hyperrealistisch kunstwerk van de Belgische street-art-kunstenaar Smates te bewonderen. Het bedrijfspand van PPF, de specialist in huisdiervoeding, is onherkenbaar. Het kunstwerk heeft een complete transformatie veroorzaakt. Door het gebruik van realistische kleuren en de dieptes in de schildering maakt Smates met zijn werk veel impact. De ‘reizende hond’ is vanuit een groot deel van Doetinchem te zien.
Prairie dogs (genus Cynomys) are herbivorous burrowing rodents native to the grasslands of North America. The five species are: black-tailed, white-tailed, Gunnison's, Utah, and Mexican prairie dogs. They are a type of ground squirrel, found in North America. In Mexico, prairie dogs are found primarily in the northern states, which lie at the southern end of the Great Plains: northeastern Sonora, north and northeastern Chihuahua, northern Coahuila, northern Nuevo León, and northern Tamaulipas. In the United States, they range primarily to the west of the Mississippi River, though they have also been introduced in a few eastern locales. They are also found in the Canadian Prairies. Despite the name, they are not actually canines.
Prairie dogs are named for their habitat and warning call, which sounds similar to a dog's bark. The name was in use at least as early as 1774. The 1804 journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition note that in September 1804, they "discovered a Village of an animal the French Call the Prairie Dog". Its genus, Cynomys, derives from the Greek for "dog mouse" (κυων kuōn, κυνος kunos – dog; μυς mus, μυός muos – mouse).
