Palmer Lake, Colorado - Dizzy, Lightbulb Carrying Dog

Palmer Lake's very proud of their new statue, commemorating the canine citizen Dizzy, who helped shuttle light bulbs up Sundance Mountain to build the town's star in 1935. Now he's memorialized in front of city hall in a larger than life (300 lb, twice as large as a real german shepherd) bronze statue in front of the Town Hall. And yes, kids can climb on Dizzy.
