Story: With 25-foot tall hydrant sculpture, Wildwood NJ beach has truly gone to the dogs
TweetWildwood New Jersey’s first dog-friendly beach got a little friendlier yesterday, with the unveiling of a bright red fire hydrant sculpture. A gift to the city of Wildwood from Morey’s Piers & Beachfront Water Parks, the 25-foot tall, 5000-pound art piece was crafted by local artists from a recycled amusement ride.
Jack and Will Morey–second-generation partners of Morey’s Piers–as well as several local officials and the Wildwood Fire Department helped dedicate the sculpture. It “celebrates the bark in all of us,” said Jack Morey. “And in a bigger way, it’s about a community that’s found it’s quirky self.”
Dogs and humans were on hand…er…paw to participate in the event.

When will all these boring people stop talking and throw the ball for me?
“Because we should play with unbridled enthusiasm and unfiltered joy, as they do.
Because we should love with all of our heart and no conditions, as they do.
Because we should live a life without regret or recrimination, as they do.”
