Dog Chapel--Making it Personal

 
 
 

Now if you look closely at the walls of this chapel, you will see that people are encouraged to post pictures in memory of their beloved dogs. There are notes and pictures covering almost every inch. I knew about this ahead of time and came prepared with a picture of our dear friend, Patches. It was our honor to post his picture in this beautiful chapel. Stepen thought of everything--even a box of kleenex, which was needed. I encourage any dog lover to visit here. It is an amazing tribute to dogs and to a wonderful artist.

Throughout the chapel and on the grounds are statues of dogs. Next to the chapel is an art gallery with Stepeh Huneck's artwork for sale in various forms. He had a special eye and often a sense of humor and warmth in his work. I say "had" because unfortunately he passed away too young, this past January.

This was a scheduled stop. I first heard about the Dog Chapel from one of my customers. She explained what it was and I knew it was a place that I would like to go. The Dog Chapel is on Dog Mountain. After artist Stephen Huneck recovered from a coma, he had this dream to make this chapel dedicated to dogs. The grounds are a place to walk dogs with ponds and trails--a heavenly place for dogs. The Chapel (where dogs are also welcome inside) is a tribute to beloved dogs who have passed on.
These are pictures of the outside. Next up...the beautiful inside.
