Dżok

Dżok (Jock) was by all accounts a happy and no doubt philosophical little Polish dog who was left tragically orphaned when his owner had a heart attack in his car in 1990 on the city’s busy Grunwald Roundabout (Rondo Grunwaldzkie). Left behind when his master was taken away in an ambulance, Dżok waited patiently for his friend to return for a year before finally going to live with a lady who used to come and feed him. After the lady died in 1998 poor Dżok was taken to a local dog hostel from where he escaped on his second day of captivity and was swiftly run over by a train. In 2001 a sculpture of Dżok was unveiled at Bulwar Czerwieński close to where his original master passed away. The work of local sculptor Bronisław Chromy (1925-), a collection box in the back is for helping fellow orphaned animals.
