Millie the Dog

Millie

The Dog
Donated by Al and Dagne Schoenbach

A man’s best friend is truly irreplaceable, and Millie, a cherished dog on the Carousel, embodies that loyal companionship and brings joy to every rider. Former board members, Al and Dagne Schoenbach, replicated their beloved pet from a photo.

Carved with intricate grooves to mimic the pattern of her shaggy gray fur, Millie wears a purple tag with her name and a blue saddle. Her long fur drapes over her eyes and covers her yellow collar giving her a warm and cuddly touch. A lamb riding on her back pays homage to her nickname, "The Guardian," reflecting her role as a French Sheepdog, known for her herding and protective nature.
