This is a work by Dale Rodgers.
It is a steel sculpture, 80 inches in height.
The work was installed in August of 2020, and will show in Burlington for at least two years.
We ran a naming contest and the winning name was “Havoc”, named after a retired Burlington Police Dog.
Dale says, “The American dog sculpture is an instantly recognizable New England icon that everyone’s favorite canine friend.”
