INSTINCT

Morley's Dog

Johnstown, United States

<br><b>On May 31, 1889,</b> this post-Civil War, cast iron statue was swept away by the flood wave and carried to a pile of wreckage downstream. After being found amidst the debris, it was returned to the front yard of the James Morley mansion which survived the flood on lower Main Street (now the site of Lee Hospital). There it remained until 1903, when it was moved to their son's lawn. In 1944, the statue was donated to the city by Morley heirs.
