Two great examples from Europe:

Dane-zaa/Swiss-Canadian Artist Brian Jungen’s Dog Run in Documenta 13, 2012. (Hard to capture in one picture—I recommend doing a Google image search to see full documentation.)

And LA artist Pae White’s charming Barking Rocks as part of the 2008 Folkestone Triennial, which became a permanent work. Designed to give local retirees who may have mobility issues a chance to exercise their dogs, the work’s bronze “sculptures of cats’ heads ominously stuck on nine-foot-high poles are a dramatic (if tongue in cheek) warning to those not invited here.”
