The Irish Brigade Monument. The unit was made up primarily of Irish Immigrants from the State of New York. The dog is a representation of a breed of Irish Wolfhound that is extinct. They were bigger (?!!) than the Irish Wolfhounds that we have today. The sculptor Rudolph O'Donavan was a former Confederate Soldier who when asked to take the commission said "For my Irish Boys I will"

Usually when you go there and the monument to Sally (the other dog monument) you will find milkbones left on the monument.
