Dog
Glyndon, MN		 Airedale Terrier
Joplin, MO		 Jim the Wonder Dog
Marshall, MO
This sign for Boardwalk Kennels features an Alaskan Malamute statue. It was created by Ernie Konikson in 1972 for the Crume Kennels. The business was later renamed the Boardwalk Kennels. However, that business is gone now, too. These photos are from 2011. For more, see this website. [map]

This bronze Airedale Terrier in Joplin represents Blue, the Bishop family dog. This eight-foot-tall statue was installed in front of the Heartland/Blue Buffalo Dog Food factory in 2014. You have to shoot through a fence. [map]

Jim the Wonder Dog was an English Llewellyn Setter that lived from 1925-1937. He was a local celebrity that predicted future events and understood many different languages. His grave is located in the Ridge Park Cemetery. This bronze statue was installed in 1999 in a small park where the hotel he used to live in was located. For more, see this website. [map]

Old Drum
Warrensburg, MO
Old Drum was killed in 1869 by a farmer who mistakenly thought the dog was killing his sheep. This sculpture is installed in front of the former courthouse which now houses the local historical society. It was previously painted silver. This appears to be a copy of the original bronze sculpture of Old Drum which was created by Reno J. Gastaldi in 1958 and installed in front of the current Courthouse. For more, see this website.

In 1942, the dog fell on the tracks in front of a moving train and was killed. For more, see this website. [map]

Waiting for the School Bus

Husky [gone]
N. Lincoln Ave.
York, NE		 Husky [gone]
S. Lincoln Ave.
York, NE		 dog statues [gone]
Elmwood Park, NJ
These fiberglass Husky statues were produced by Icon Poly for Pump & Pantry gas stations. The mascot was developed in 2013 and was named Bones. At least a dozen of these statues were produced and installed on top of the gas pump canopies at various locations. However, Bones has been dropped from the company's logo and signs. I believe these were the only two statues left. They were gone by 2023.

These dog statues were made of foam and installed in front of Camp Bow Wow. They were made around 2006. The Golden Retriever is about four feet tall. The statues were still there in 2012 but gone by 2016. The Jack Russell Terrier looks like the same design as the one in Phoenix, AZ.

Yard Dog
Santa Fe, NM
Yard Dog
Indio, CA
This Yard Dog sculpture in Santa Fe is 20 feet long and made of corrugated sheet metal. It was temporarily installed in Railyard Park and is entitled "Yard Dog." A bench swing hangs from the dog's underside. The sculpture was created by Don Kennell in 2011 who modeled it after his own dog. It was inspired by the mythological Capitoline Wolf, an ancient Roman she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. This Indio sculpture was removed in 2012 and reinstalled at a different spot in town in 2017. It was to be a temporary installation but it is still there in 2023. For more, see this website. [map]

An identical Yard Dog sculpture was created by Kennell and installed at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio in 2013. It had a bench swing underneath originally. The sculpture was moved to Hjorth Park in 2014. [map]

Dog [gone]
Aloha, OR		 Bobbie the Wonderdog
Silverton, OR
The Dog in Aloha was about six feet tall and stood across the street from the BarkZone dog daycare. The business opened in 2003. The statue was there by 2007 and was there until at least 2013. It looked like a Standard Schnauzer to me. This photo is from 2008. By 2015, the statue was gone.

Bobbie the Wonderdog was a Collie mix from the 1920s who became famous for traveling more than 2,500 miles after being lost in Indiana to return to his home in Silverton. Since at least 2007, this statue and doghouse have been located downtown in his memory. For more, see this website. [map]

Seaman
Portland, OR		 Seaman
Washburn, ND
Seaman was the Newfoundland dog of Captain Meriwether Lewis. The dog accompanied Lewis & Clark on their expedition. This life-sized, bronze statue in Portland was installed at the Pamplin Sports Center at Lewis and Clark College in 2010. The sculpture was created by Georgia Gerber. The dog is the college's mascot. It is nicknamed "Pio," short for Pioneer. The college's sports teams are named the Pioneers. However, in 2024, the college began looking for a new mascot. This statue will remain. For more, see this website.

The Seaman sculpture in Washburn was installed in 2006 at the Seaman Overlook near the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. The steel sculpture is six feet tall and was created by Tom Neary. [map]
