Stone Dog, Granite dog statue at Forest Park Zoo in Springfield, Massachusetts

Stone Dog II is a granite statue of a golden retriever standing guard between the Zoo at Forest Park and the park's largest playground in Springfield, Massachusetts. It measures about 2.5 feet tall, 4 feet long, and 2 feet wide, and weighs approximately 1,000 pounds.

The original Stone Dog, carved from granite, guarded a fountain at the intersection of Mill and Pine Streets from 1888 or 1889. In 1909 the fountain was removed and the dog was moved to Forest Park near the original zoo. It was later placed by park superintendent Theodor R. Geisel near the Paddle Pond, then moved again in 1973 when the hockey rink was built. It disappeared from a maintenance yard in 1987.

This granite figure serves as a familiar landmark where families gather and children pause during their visits. The statue has become a natural meeting point that connects people to the park's public spaces.

The statue sits in an easily accessible spot between the zoo and the playground, making it a useful reference point for navigation. Visitors can see and reach it from different parts of the park.

The replacement was funded by the Edward and William Walker Trust and the Everett Barney Trust, reportedly including donations made after the original disappeared. Firefighter Kevin Welz, who began searching when his daughter asked "Where's the doggy?", commissioned the new statue with Parks Director Patrick Sullivan.
