Our Resident Guard Dog
Ol' Ironside
Constructed by Jack Dollar and donated by Stephen Kemp, this fierce pup has been greeting museum goers for decades. According to his plaque at the entrance of the museum:

You can see our dog is of mixed breed with many unusual parts. He's very diligent in guarding our antiquities. He is on duty 24/7 and never leaves his post. Although he is docile, he is extremely tenacious - the toughest dog in the fight.
