Recently “The Watchdog”, by Joachim, has been painted in the city of Chichester and has become part of a much bigger story. A story about the indomitable spirit of a local community against their city council’s decision to remove Joachim’s “The King of Cats” mural for “attracting” antisocial behaviour!
With the call of the local people, and a fresh buffed wall, Joachim flew back to Chichester with the perfect antidote for his mischievous cat and painted “The watchdog” to keep the neighbourhood safe from the antisocial behaviour. Applying his sense of humour to a senseless act.

The Watchdog was dedicated to the people of Chichester and now keeps their neighbourhood safe, however Joachim wanted to do something extra for the community that showered him with support.
