Interesting that you should mention the railway bridge on Durham Road - the picture above is from the bill-board right by there. It was great fun trying to take it without looking obvious. I wasn't in Stockton back in the 1980s, so don't remember 'Dogs like cars'. But, as you say, it's good to see the return of cryptic graffiti instead of the regular boring kind.

"I'll Google it", said I - and here I am. I'd forgotten all about leaving it as a comment on YouTube and am utterly blown away that you should have found it. I have nothing to do with the slogan however, but would love to learn of it's true meaning and the artist who devised it. I for one think it's good to see the return of cryptic graffiti to the little sleepy village of Stockton on smack. While, "Much has happened, little has changed", on the gable end of Mr. Ben's costume shop had a heart warmingy cynical message of acceptance, it never quite matched the pure confusion factor of "Dogs like cars", which greeted motorists who passed under it in the opulent 1980's, daubed on the railway bridge at the end of Durham road, opposite that house with the creepy china doll in the window.
