Monument dedication. Togliatti.
Intrigued by this event in more detail, the inhabitants of the city of Togliatti learned that the summer of 1995 not far from this place there was a car accident two cars. Inside, the car is cherry dog and its owners. The girl died on the spot, and a man in serious condition was taken to hospital where he died a couple of hours. Miraculously he survived only a dog. Nicknames it was not known, so people called him "True" or "Kostik».
The dog kennel built and even tried to take him to his home, but no attempt was unsuccessful. The dog always came back, looking forward to their owners. And in the snow and in the rain, in any weather and time of year, he was always in place. From the sympathetic townspeople he took only food. In any weather he always waited and ran close to all passing vehicles. Anyone who has traveled in some cases in the "new" or "old" city of Constantine ever seen running around at the roadside or rest easy on the grass. Citizens very fond of Constantine and turned it into the story in the "living legend».
In 2002, the dog died. He was found dead in the forest. By City rumors that Constantine hit by a truck, whose driver, fearing the wrath of the people hid his body in the woods novogorodskom, thereby concealing evidence and walking away from responsibility. However, traces of violent death were found, and rumors were unconfirmed. Kostya died a natural death. Most likely, the dog went into the woods to die there. Constantine waited for his master to the last second.
Erected a monument to the sculptor hereditary from Ulyanovsk - Oleg Kluyev. Oleg's mother was a sculptor - Love Tours, honored artist of the Russian Federation. The monument stands in 21 quarters at the intersection of the Southern Highway and street Lev Yashin at the ten-house № 25. The very tall sculpture of a little over one and a half meters is set on a granite pedestal. Oleg raised him in a way that passes on the way drivers think that the dog turns his head after the passing cars as if still hoping to see their dead owners. The author of the sculpture says:
"All I was trying to bring to their work - a boundless devotion. »
He notes that the most difficult thing that he had to pass through the monument, as is the nature of Constantine.
The discovery of a bronze statue took place on 1 June 2003, the day of 266 anniversary of the city of Togliatti, which is celebrated every first Sunday of the summer. At the opening there were about 100-150 people, half of whom were members of the Rotary Club of Togliatti, the rest were citizens and journalists. Taking on the powers of the opening, the deputy mayor of Togliatti Nikolai Renz gave a speech in which he said these words:
"The city must be a symbol. Copenhagen - The Little Mermaid in Brussels - a famous boy, and we have in Togliatti - a monument to the dog whose loyalty has become a legend!
After the official opening of the City Mayor Nikolay Utkin, mindful of the fate of "The Little Mermaid" in Copenhagen, put him protection till the moment when the monument was not carried out alarm. This monument is the first in Togliatti, erected not for "political reasons." Today this place is a place, a must to visit the newlyweds as a symbol of unbreakable loyalty to family life. By tradition, the newlyweds were true to each other and happy family life, the dog need to rub the tip of the nose. Through this ritual of the dog's nose has become polished.
We all have friends, which we are sure is 100%.
Personally, I'm here on my own experience believe that real and loyal friend to oblivion grow from just such lumps, too!
All good people!
