Walk of Philly Fame

While walking around Philadelphia, Foo found himself on Signers' Row and stopped to pose with the signature plaque of John Adams, his favorite signer of the Declaration of Independence. Sit down, John!

Well, I Declare!

Foo was inspired to make a declaration of his own after visiting the building where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. So Foo declares that he is the first and foremost cutest, and most well-traveled, Foo Dog in the world!

Batter Up!

Foo decided to become a Phillies Fan for the day after he discovered this cool permanent sand sculpture in a park in Philadelphia. He's really not sure what the creature is on the top though, so he decided that the Phillies should make Foo the new mascot!

Quoth the Foo Dog, "Nevermore!"

Foo channeled the great Edgar Allan Poe outside this historical location dedicated to him in Philadelphia. Foo thinks the poem should be revised to include him in it. He's just as scary as the black bird.

Amish Foo

In honor of his trip to Amish Country, Foo decided to pose with this Amish buggy that was outside the hotel. He was amazed to find that it had a spedometer inside!

Foo's Dancin' and Singin' in the Rain

Foo was excited to go see Katie Rochon perform in "Signin' in the Rain" at the Dutch Apple Theatre. Unfortunately there were no dogs allowed inside, but he got to support her anyway and gave her a standing foo-vation.

Yay to Katie for a great performance as Lina Lamont! And it turned out that Katie had a fan club of her own that night!


Foo on the Farm

The friendly little Foo Dog that he is, Foo made even more friends at the farm in Pennsylvania. He met Larry the Llama, who wondered just want kind of llama Foo might be and why Foo was getting in his close-up beauty shot.

Then Foo got some baby goat kisses from his new friend Goaty the Kid.


Goaty's favorite things to do were jumping off his big rock and butting his head into people's hands.






Why Buy the Cow...

When Foo will milk it for free? Foo took a turn milking this cut-out cow and learned how udderly difficult it is when you don't have opposable thumbs and when the cow is not real.

You Can't Catch Me...

I'm the Foo-gerbread Man! Foo decided to taunt this happy Gingerbread Man with a bit of his own medicine and then run away. The gingerbread man was more amused by Foo than anything else.

What's in a Name?

Foo had fun with the name of this little Amish country town outside of Lancaster, PA. Lots of inside jokes here.... Foo just had a little time to get in and out.... of the Kitchen Kettle Village...

And Foo was fascinated that the pretzels came either hard or soft... sickos... teehee...

StoryTime for Foo

Foo is sad that Storyland is no more. This and a few other pieces that he couldn't get to are all that remain of the once popular amusement park. But boy is this dude big! Can you find Foo?

Mountain Foo-way

Can't go over it. Can't go around it. Have to go through it! Foo was very excited about documenting his trip literally through the mountains on the highway in Pennsylvania.

But remember, you have to make sure you don't cross the center line.

Foo understood why once he was inside. It was very "spooky" in there...

Fallen Heroes

Foo accidentally found this memorial to the Flight 93 plane and victims that died saving others from the tragedies of 9-11. He's glad he got to pay his Foo respects to the heroic people.

Foo in Space

Foo needs E.T. to phone him so he can figure out what the writing on this Space Acorn says. He thinks it's a message from Footonia calling him home to the mothership!

Fly Me to the Foo

As Columbus was preparing for the State Fair, Foo got to grab a ride on this people lifter between the parking lot and amusement rides. Unfortunately it wasn't working just then and he didn't get to fly.

Little Bunny Foo Foo

Foo caught this metal abstract bunny walking through the... erm... forest and made it stop for a picture. Art is weird.

The Foo Who Smelt It...

Yeah, Foo did. It's funny how (f)art functions....

Judge Foo-dy

Foo makes it to the big time with this world's largest gavel in Columbus, OH. Foo says the verdict is "guilty" on the accusation of being the cutest Foo Dog ever!

Class of 200-Foo

Foo stands under this World's Biggest graduation cap and imagines having the glory of being the first to graduate from Foo U.

Sunday in the Park

Foo just wanted to jump into some art, so he found this topiary garden in Columbus that recreates the famous French pointalism painting, Sunday in the Park. Pretty cool for Foo!

For the Love of Foo

Foo was ecstatic when he turned a corner at the Columbus Zoo and discovered his longlost Foo brother! It was a Foo-y happy reunion!

March of the Foo-guins

Foo wanted to try to blend in with the penguins and get a free trip to Antarctica. He was caught in the act, however, since he really isn't black and white... and not a bird... and doesn't stand upright... Yeah... Foo's had much better plans before.

Foo of the Sea

Foo really wants to know what you're having for dinner tonight so he can join this scuba diver and go get it for you! What a nice Foo!

Foo, Foo, Foo of the Jungle...

Strong as he can be, Foo swings through the jungle on these vines he found. Hear his roaring call as he's trying to not hit the trees that go whizzing by.

Foo-Shaw

Foo got too tired to make it through the entire zoo, so he ordered up a rickshaw and made Arnie drive him around. Boy was Arnie tired. Foo's not at light as he looks!

Foo Damn Hot!

At least someone is finally realizing Foo's fiery personality, because he IS too hot to touch!

So That's What Happened

Ever wonder what really happened to the dinosaurs? Yup, Foo started hunting and was really too good at it. Then his super powers turned the bones into metal.

Foo on the Prairie

Foo wanted to have a Little House on the Prairie, but he settled for posing as a prairie dog with Victoria in the prairie dog display at the zoo!

More Foo Zoo Fun

Foo tried to make a lot of other friends at the zoo as well, but the real ones would have gone chompy and stompy on Foo for real, so he settled for posing with cool statues of his fun friends. 


It was an exhausting trip! In the end, Foo got to ride a gator... 






... play swat-the-Foo with the tigers (admittedly not his favorite game)...










... and snuggle with the baby elephant...

and protected by a polar bear.





Foo in the Zoo!

Foo made some new furry friends at the Columbus Zoo, including a Buffalo that Foo nicknamed Chuck.

In the petting zoo, he met a goat who really seemed to want to eat Foo more than be his friend.

Thankfully, Foo was too fast and managed to get away.

Foo Go Blue!

Foo showed his bravery and allegiance to the Maize and Blue (in spite of he birth defect in coloring) when he traveled to Columbus, OH. He wore his Michigan hat to show his Wolverine pride as he posed in front of the evil Ohio State football stadium.


He then promptly peed on a Buckeye statue nearby! Go boy, Foo!

Heads Above the Rest

Foo Dog climbed his way to the head of society by getting to the top of this humungous sculpture of Chief Leatherlips in Dublin, OH. Wow this guy had a big head!

Children of the Corn!

Foo contemplated becoming a Foo Dog of the corn in this field in Dublin, OH, but he decided he had way too much color for his corny competition.

Da Plane, Boss, Da Plane!

Foo felt a little small next to this really big plane, but he got to ride it. He wanted to name it Big Bertha, but he found out late its name was Hercules... and since Hercules defeated the Nemean lion... Foo thinks it can be named whatever it wants.

Situation Normal: All Foo-ed Up

Foo was very excited when he found a plane in the Air Force museum that was named after him. It's just a shame that they spelled it wrong. And what's with the 23S. Maybe that means Foo gets 23 stars for being so Foo-rific!

Kid Icarus

Foo was going to try to fly toward the sun, but this statue of Icarus at the Air Force museum reminded him that he would melt if he got too close, just like Icarus's wings. Thanks for the reminder, Kid!

Fight on Foo!

Foo enjoyed his visit to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. He enjoyed a walk through the memorial gardens and particularly liked this pyramind sculpture because Foo likes to fight, and the names of the fighter groups amused him: Skullmen, Comanches, and Skeeters.
