"Contrary
to popular belief, they were not Emperor Norton's dogs." |
A half
acre redwood grove grows behind the Transamerica
Pyramid. Transplanted from the Santa Cruz mountains, the magnificent
redwoods dominate a lovely park designed by Tom Galli. Dog
lovers will enjoy the bronze plaque here honoring two stray dogs that legend
would have it were Emperor Norton's
sidekicks - though they were not. Bummer and Lazarus were
"adopted" at large by early San Franciscans who followed their
adventures in the daily paper.
