The librarian in Port Hardy, B.C., related to this writer a cute story of a bear cub sculpture located at the library in Port Hardy. One of the frequenters of the library, who is visually impaired and requires a seeing-eye dog entered the library shortly after the bear cub was acquired from Terry McKinnon. Upon entering, the dog immediately spotted the bear sculpture and went into a defense mode. McKinnon is adept at creating grizzly bears, eagles , wolves, raccoons, salmon, or owls in a variety of sizes. A Great Blue Heron is one of this writer's favorites.
Signage incorporating wildlife is especially effective and lends a unique identity to any business.
