Mr. William Rutherford of
Wildlife Prairie State Park
with Pat & Dave Broeker
at their first meeting.
|
The War Dog Memorial
Sculpture lies in waiting
comfortably on a nice soft
mattress. |
The soldier alone weighs
more than 700 pounds,
and the mattress insures
safe travel around the park.
|
Every conceivable detail
has been thought of to
include tears in the helmet
cover and web belt texture.
|
The final version boasts an
M-16 on the shoulder. The
dogs foot shows details of
how they anchor it down.
|
We met "Frosty", the white
German Shepherd, owned by
Mr. Rutherford. She was the
model for the sculpture.
|
This view of the sole of the
foot reveals a hollow core,
but the strength of the sculpture
is still uncompromised!
|
Bear shaped signs like this
are abundant throughout
the park. They give directions
to almost every location.
|
This Bronze Sculpture called
"Bronze Eagle in Tree"
rests peacefully on
"Hazel's Hill of Flowers"
|
"Cabin on the Hill"
is a beautiful cabin with many
ammenities, available to rent
for an overnight's stay.
|
These cute "Silo" cabins
boast air conditioning, and are
ideal for the adventurer with
plenty of room to turn a "round".
|
Bringing up the caboose,
(4 of them), you could be right
on track if you chose to sleep on
the rails in perfect comfort.
