The Dog On The Tuckerbox Monument was unveiled on 28th November, 1932. A faithful friend, the guardian of the teamster's possessions, a dog accompanied every wagon that pushed inland. It was the action of one such dog in spoiling foodstuffs whilst he sat on a tuckerbox that so amused a poet that he wrote the poem - "The Dog Sat On The Tuckerbox". There are now many poems and songs written about the dog.
