Lucky Dog Receives Sticks As Tributes To His Grave Site 100 Years Later
Every dog owner in the world knows the special bond they form with their dogs. Dogs are our best friends, confidants, companions, and family members. That’s why losing a dog is a blow from which some of us can never fully recover.
We try to find ways to honor them, and this is not a “modern thing.” A particular 100-year-old monument to a dog serves as the best proof. He was undoubtedly loved very much, and his owner wanted to show his gratitude and love.
The Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn is famous for being the final resting place of many well-known musicians and artists, including Leonard Bernstein, Charles Ebbets, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. However, the most interesting aspect of this cemetery is the 100-year-old grave of a dog named Rex.

“I think people like to believe that there is a dog interred there, and there very well might be. But it’s hard to say,” Stacy Locke, Communications Manager at Green-Wood Cemetery, told reporters.
“It’s right under a tree, and there are lots of sticks around. People will drop a stick across his little paws. Someone also left a picture of a dog there once, perhaps their little pet who passed away, as if to say, ‘Rex, look after my little one.’”
