Stone Dog, Granite dog statue at Forest Park Zoo in Springfield, Massachusetts
The Stone Dog statue stands four feet long and two feet wide, weighing 1000 pounds of solid granite at the entrance of Forest Park Zoo.
The original Stone Dog guarded a fountain at Mill and Pine Streets intersection from 1888 until 1909, when it was relocated to Forest Park.
The Stone Dog represents the connection between the community and public art, serving as a central gathering point for generations of local families.
Located between the Zoo and the main playground of Forest Park, the Stone Dog statue provides an accessible meeting point for visitors.
The current Stone Dog II replaced the 1888 original statue that disappeared in 1987, maintaining the tradition through an exact granite reproduction.
