The story of the sculpture character is sad. The dog Jock lived in Grunwald Square for almost a year. It was here that he patiently waited for his master to be taken to the hospital. The dog did not leave his post even after the death of the owner. Jock became a favorite of local residents, attempts to arrange him in an animal shelter were unsuccessful - the dog did not let himself be caught. The townspeople brought him food. A year later, Jock chose his mistress - she became old Maria Muller, who soon died. The dog was placed in a shelter, but he escaped from there and died, throwing himself under the train.
