Monument
Berczy Park Dog Fountain
35 Wellington St E, Toronto, ON M5E 1C9
Two-tier fountain with cast-iron dogs and cats gazing up at a golden bone, spouting water from their mouths.
This guide to Berczy Park in Toronto traces the twenty-seven cast-iron dogs staring up at a golden bone above the fountain, and the fight it took to get them built: Toronto officials who dismissed the design outright, and the Montreal landscape architect who answered with a fifty-page case for dogs in art. Look closely and you can spot a single cat hidden among the pack, tucked in near the water's edge.
