Dogs are not simply man’s best friend or housemate; they are also part of the family. They frequently have a significant impact on a person’s life, sometimes even on the entire family. These cute, fuzzy animals are more complex than most people realize.
Because of this, the loss of a dog when it crosses the rainbow bridge causes its owner unimaginable suffering that is often difficult to bear. If you are a true dog lover, moving on is necessary, but forgetting is never an option.
When they were still alive, we go through their pictures and videos to remember them. We use-every-day items like t-shirts and coffee cups to put their graphics on. While some create a statue in their dog’s likeness to immortalize their image.
Rex the canine.
The ashes of various well-known musicians and artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Charles Ebbets, and Leonard Bernstein, are interred in South Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery. But there is one more renowned person who is thought to receive a lot of visitors.
Rex is the dog’s name, and he is reportedly interred there with his owner, John E. Stow. One of the most well-known fruit merchants in the city was Stow, who passed away in 1884.
A bronze statue that was inspired by the image of Stow’s dog is located near his tomb. Even though he had been dead for more than a century, Rex appears to be watching over his master based solely on the statue.
It appears that he is continuing to perform his role as a man’s best buddy even after death.
Is Rex really well-known?
We are certain he is just by glancing at his statue. Simply see the mass of sticks perched over his front legs. It proves that despite the fact that they may not personally know him, people still value Rex’s reputation as a trustworthy friend.
“Rex certainly stands out among the rest. People may see him from the road since he is in a prominent location just off of this intersection of two highways, according to Stacy Locke, Green-Wood Cemetery’s communications manager, who spoke to The Dodo.
It’s directly beneath a tree, and there are lots of sticks all around, said Locke. “People will strike his tiny paws with a stick. Another person may have left a picture of their deceased pet dog there as a message to Rex, saying, “Rex, care after my little one.”
A puzzle?
Even if Rex’s statue is placed above Stow’s grave, everyone is still curious as to why the dog’s remains were truly interred there.
There very well might be a dog buried there, according to Locke, who believes that people like to think that way. But it’s difficult to say.
Those who had the opportunity to view Rex’s statue in the cemetery were compelled to post about it online.
I took a walk around Greenwood Cemetery today and looks at all the sticks heaped up for the goodest boy Rex,” tweeted @meghanad alongside a photo of Rex’s statue.
A gravestone for a dog named Rex is located at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, according to a tweet from @KevinTMorales, another Twitter user. He is still a sweet boy, so people bring him sticks and lay them at his feet.
A dog’s loyalty doesn’t diminish over time; it lasts throughout their entire lives and even after death.
