Meaford, Ontario - Beautiful Joe Park

Beautiful Joe Park is dedicated to a dog named Beautiful Joe from the 1800s. The park has since become a place of remembrance and a place to recognize the contributions of service dogs, including those that died on 9/11. I was pretty surprised to see this monument in the tiny town I lived in. I never pass it now without stopping to read the plaques and remember that day.
