On the return into downtown, turn right onto Washington St., then left onto Market St. Traveling toward Main St., there is a replica of Morley’s Dog in the Morley’s Dog Plaza located at the corner of Main and Market Streets.

This dog was featured in the movie and was credited by Paul Newman as saving the town from a devastating flood. This story has stuck to Morley’s Dog, even though that is not his true legacy.

In reality, the dog was a garden statue at the time of the Great Flood of 1889 and was recovered and returned to the Morley family. They later donated the dog to the City of Johnstown and he has stood in his plaza for many years.
