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]

Esso Watchdog
Pottstown, PA
Esso Watchdog statues were produced by the Esso Oil Company. This German Shepherd was used as the company's home heating oil business mascot from around 1959-1965. These fiberglass statues came in two sizes: seven feet long and three feet long. The larger ones, like this one, were installed on top of the company's oil trucks. This Pottstown statue was located at an Esso Oil delivery company at this site. When Watchdog Condo-Storage opened here, they kept the statue. It is now installed on top of their sign. [map]

Dachshund
Dillon, SC		 Dachshund [gone]
Ruidoso, NM
The Dachshund in Dillon is located at South of the Border. The 15-foot-long statue is installed next to Pedro's Hot Dogs. It was produced by International Fiberglass in the 1960s for the Hot Dog Hound which may have been a chain that is either gone or was never actually built. This photo shows a statue ready for shipment at the factory. Note that the dog's feet were angled to fit at the top of an a-frame roof. This statue at South of the Border must have been altered to stand on the ground. [photo thanks Terry Nelson]. [map]

The Dachshund in Ruidoso is identical to the one in Dillon but with the original feet. It must have been produced by International Fiberglass unless someone made a copy. I don't know where it was installed originally but it was on the roof of the Ruidoso Emporium since at least 2015. The store closed in 2024 and by 2026 the statue was gone.
