The colourful replacement is popping up all over the world, as the artist, who also runs other accounts such as @dispatchwork, takes the creative liberty to embellish the abandoned infrastructure with a childhood favourite. 

Vormann also fills up the spaces with mini infrastructures, creating mini buildings in the walls being restorations.

Of course, the dog’s owner is the one taking care of the uploads and the edits. The good girl is just enjoying her time at the beach and playing fetch!

A video uploaded to the Instagram page explains how the dog had almost drowned in a quarry when she was a puppy. However, ‘love helped her overcome fear of water and turn it into a game’.
