Patsy Ann
“The Official Greeter of Juneau, Alaska” is a charming sculpture of “Patsy Ann” an English bull terrier that arrived in Juneau in 1929. The pooch quickly became a fixture in town. Born deaf, Patsy Ann had an uncanny ability to “hear” the steamships approaching Gastineau Channel and never failed to greet them with a friendly hello on the dock. Patsy Ann greets visitors at the downtown dock boardwalk to ensure that they carry the blessing of friendship throughout life’s joyney.
