I visited the Glebe Dog Memorial, located beneath the railway bridge near Jubilee Park, and found it quietly moving. The memorial consists of a wall where local residents have attached photographs, dog tags, plaques and short notes remembering dogs that were part of their families. It isn’t an official monument but a community-created space that has grown organically over time, reflecting how common and important dogs are in people’s lives. Seeing dozens of individual tributes in one place makes clear how strong the human–dog bond is, and how people feel the need to mark that loss publicly. The memorial made me think of Mackie, Tina, Meg, Scamp and Cindy. What a blessing to have so many beautiful dogs in my life.
