About the Sculpture
This bronze Boston Terrier was gifted by the city as a thank you to Angeleen Stransky, as her and her husband, Leonard, had loved the animals their whole life. It was dedicated along with Stransky Park in late 2003.
Plaque inscription:
"This park is donated to the City of Lincoln by Leonard J. and Angeleen E. Stransky.
Mr. Stransky was a prominent Lincoln grocer, owning Trixes IGA Foodliner from 1940 to 1974, a property owner with extensive real estate holdings in Lincoln, and a major financier in the stock market.
It is their wish to give a place of beauty back to the many customers that supported them in the Near South and Irvingdale neighborhoods. 2002"
