Places in a Book | Sussex | Part 2

Probably the most interesting story that happened about this Sussex Spaniel was on opening day. I can remember they had an opening ceremony right at this end of the line, again at the beginning of the line. And I was there present, sort of in the back seat watching the various politicians give the speeches about this new, improved and bringing back the streetcar to Spadina. And at some point in time a woman realized that I was the person who was responsible for these works. And she immediately told me of an experience that she had.  She lived in the house directly opposite the dog on the 3rd floor and what had happened to her was that her dog had died and she went through this painful experience of loss of this dog. And somewhere right in the middle of that we had installed these works. And one day, probably the day after we had installed - they hadn't been there before - and she went to the window and she opened the curtain and there was this dog and she just broke down crying. And it was almost as though her dog had been memorialized before her very eyes. And I thought, "Something's working correctly when you have things happen like that." Yeah, true story.
