No thread about fountains would be complete without these beauties.

My favorite fountain is the Dog Fountain at Berczy Park in Toronto. Notice the bone at the top of the fountain and be sure to look for the cat! This is awesome and is on a list of things I wish was in the city I post on. This park is worth visiting, the next time you're in Toronto, to see this fountain.

I'm sure it will appear on the lists after this post! I've heard the videos don't always work. Try to watch the video of this fountain and park, using the Video Link: |

The dog fountain is cool. I forgot about our friends next door when I compiled the list of European-style fountains, but Quebec City, which is like a bit of Europe in N America, has a gorgeous one.

Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park in Houston. Favorite spot for wedding photographers and the occasional Bollywood musical number.
