These dogs are considered to be the progenitors of modern Labradors.[4][5] StatueA statue of Scott, by Joseph Durham, stands in the centre of Dunchurch, Warwickshire. At Christmas, it has been an annual tradition for a group of pranksters to secretly dress up the statue in the garb of a cartoon or TV character overnight. They have done this every Christmas for more than 30 years, More recently the statue was dressed up as an Olympian for the final leg of the Olympic torch relay sporting a headband and runners jersey.[6] The statue was dressed up as Queen Elizabeth II during her diamond jubilee weekend celebrations.
