Dale Rogers, a sculptor from Massachusetts, is traveling New England this summer with 20 of his oversized sculptures of dogs. Beginning Thursday, he'll set up his Big Dog Art Show at Littlefield Park in Ogunquit. He'll keep the show up until Tuesday, then move on to another community.

"Art enthusiasts, dog lovers, families, residents and visitors will encounter a unique gathering of compelling 'American Dog' sculptures that are larger-than-life, accessible and attractive to people of all ages," Rogers said in a press release. "Bringing art to the masses is valuable to everyone."

He makes the sculpture from metal. Each is about 8-feet tall and 10-feet wide.
