The cemetery staff must remove bundles of sticks frequently from the animal’s burial. Since they understand why others give him gifts, they don’t object.
Rex the dog passed away over a century ago. In contrast, city dwellers remember an amiable fruit vendor’s dog. In honor of the city’s most recognizable animal, a full-size bronze replica was erected.
A picture of the dog’s burial appeared on social media recently. Near his monument, locals often lay sticks and tree branches. There was a lot of interest in this piece on social media, and many users wanted to know why people acted this way.
A commenter on the picture then said that the sticks were a tribute to a dog that the grandparents had taught their grandchildren about.
The dog cemetery is also visited by locals who have lost dogs. Their bronze replica of him is bribed with sticks to behave like their beloved animals until they can see them again.
