Iron Dog

Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia

This cast iron dog guards the grave of little Florence Reese. The dog stood for years in front of a store on Broad Street in the 1800's. To prevent it from being sold to be melted down for bullets during the Civil War, her father bought the dog which all the children, including Florence, loved. When Florence died of scarlet fever, her family placed the statue by her grave.
