“Being up here, having a place for the dogs makes all the difference in the world. Dog Mountain is a place where dogs can really connect with nature and enjoy spending time outdoors with their owners,” creative director Amanda McDermott told Great Big Story.

On Dog Mountain, there also is a dedicated Dog Chapel where humans can go to commemorate, remember, and celebrate man’s best friend.

“Having a place like the Dog Chapel really helps people say goodbye or also just leave a message about how much they love them,” McDermott said.

Artist Stephen Huneck — a dog lover and owner himself — detested the phrase, “it’s just a dog.” He built the chapel with life-sized busts to honor them.

Stained glass portraits of his beloved black Labrador line the walls.
