The monument to the Irish Brigade at Gettysburg features an Irish Wolfhound which is lying down af the foot of a Celtic cross.
Not said is the fact that no Irish Wolfhound was at Gettysburg during the battle.
The statue of the dog is supposed to represent fidelity.
Ironically it was sculpted by William R. O’Donovan a confederate soldier at Gettysburg who was fighting in opposition to American Union forces.
Only in America do we celebrate fidelity with statues of dogs that were not there, sculpted by a man who was a traitor to the nation.
