The stone carving sits on the side of a commercial building in central Bristol which was once home to the terrier in the late 19th Century. An anonymous card placed alongside the flowers contained a heartfelt message following the demise of the High Street music chain. It read: “With deepest sympathy. Thinking of you, Nipper, the HMV dog. You brought music into all our lives. Love always.”
