Huge Red Dog You can walk around this little area and see all different things made by a blacksmith. The big red dog is best, but there's more awesome stuff along the path -- a giant fire ant, two pigs on a bench, cinderblock robot, etc.

Huge Red Dog on Fine Arts Museum Large red dog on top of a fine arts museum! No fire ant there.
[Sarah, 01/01/2010]The huge red dog and fire ant sculptures are still here, and are occasionally joined by other creations from Northport metal worker Steve Davis. But I want to file one correction to the prior tip: Northport is south of Gordo, not north.

Huge red dog, fire ant I noticed the mention of Ma'Cille's in Gordo, AL. Some of the Ma'Cille artists moved 20 miles to Northport, the thriving little art community. Northport was already home to a huge red dog statue, but that wasn't enough for the art-hungry Northportians. Completed just last month was a several-foot statue of a fire ant. Fire ants came to this country through Mobile, Alabama, so it is only right that this state have the official fire ant statue.
