Actually live near here, but never knew about Sancho until I saw it in the Roadside America app.

The Greeters.

Sancho the Giant Dog

Sancho (1979-1989) was an official greeter dog for a company that produces cleaning products. The giant dog statue sits outside the corporate headquarters of Simple Green, with a plaque listing the names of all of the other official greeters for the company.

You can view Sancho best on weekends when employees are not at work, but there is public coastal access. You are also able to fish off the walkway.

Other no-longer-living greeters include Beowulf, Jake, Bear, and Sancho II.
