Tamworth, NH USA
NOBLE CHINOOK !
Last spring Tamworth sculptor Andrea Kennett made this wonderful likeness of Chinook, Tamworth’s famous canine hero (1917-1929).
With owner/ breeder Arthur Walden, Chinook led teams across Wonalancet, New England, then Antarctica.
In 2010 the Chinook breed became NH’s State Dog.
THC is working to have a life-size bronze made, to adorn our front lawn!
*Update! We are grateful and amazed to have surpassed our original goal for the funds needed to make the statue! Additional funds are still needed and will be used for site work and other things for the statue location.
We can’t wait to have Chinook in Tamworth and work on the statue will begin at the foundry this spring!
