A bronze statue honoring one of the best good boys adorns one particular gr.a.ve and you could say it really st.icks out. Rex has faithfully protected his owner at the corner of Greenbough and Sycamore for over 100 years — and he’s still a very good boy…! We’re sure that the owners who built their doggy named Rex this beautiful monument 100 years ago knew this feeling quite well Rex is believed to be the dog of John E.Stow, who was one of the city’s longest practicing fruit merchants when he di.ed in 1884. For years, people have been collecting s.ti.cks and fallen branches to lea.ve them at the good boy’s waiting paws.
