      Well, their name comes from the greek word for dog, it only makes sense for this to be alluded to in a statue of Diogenes.

      People referred to diogenes as a dog as a form of insult, but diogenes was like “YOU KNOW WHAT FUCKERS? THAT SHOE FUCKING FITS.” and then he called himself “Diogenes the dog”.

      As you could maybe tell I may have paraphrased a bit. But who knows, I don’t speak old greek. I had latin in school.
