Snoopy sculptures sell for more than £150,000 at auction after two-month trail ends

The colourful Snoopy sculptures seen around parts of south Wales in recent weeks have sold for thousands of pounds at auction. A Dog's Trail, organised by the Dogs Trust, saw 115 big and small sculptures of the comic favourite placed in the streets, shopping centres and parks of Cardiff, Caerphilly and Porthcawl between April and June, bringing a smile to the faces of the thousands of people who passed them every day.

The trail ended earlier this month, with all 40 of the large painted sculptures put on show together for the first time outside Cardiff City Hall as part of a 'Farewell Weekend' event. Get the latest news from across Cardiff sent straight to your inbox by signing up to our newsletters.

The two-month project faced some ups and downs at first, with a handful of the sculptures being damaged by vandals. Those in Cardiff even had to be moved from their original spots and 'rehomed' after five of the statues were vandalised within the first week.
