At the head of the park, there is a large dedication rock holding a plaque commorating Jean Montgomery and her dog, Annie.  Jean  and Annie spent countless hours in the park before it became "official".  Unbeknownst to others, she left $10,000 to help us create the park we know and enjoy today. 

Over the years, the lives of other people and dogs were made  happier because of the time they spent in this park.  Small plaques with the names of some of them are attached to the fence near the dedication rock. 

 If you would like to have the name of your pet and/or its' picture  included here,    click on the  >Pet'sName link below and send what you wish others to see.  You     can either attach or embed a picture.  Additional pages will be added as needed..

SAMMY

September 26, 2008

Early this afternoon, Cliff and Kary Waldeck lost their beloved Sammy.

Sammy was born to a litter that was left in a Berkeley dumpster rescued by a local animal shelter. Only a few weeks old, Sammy was a little black fur ball that fit into the cupped hands of her life guardian and friend, Karyn.

Over the years, Sammy was very spirited and energetic. She loved having tennis balls kicked for her rather than thrown, fancying herself both a retriever as well as a goalie. Sammy relished her walks, the scents and all that nature had to offer. On hot days, Sammy savored her dips in the Bay or in the creek in Old Mill Park.

Sammy was most at home at the Mill Valley Dog Park where she was a regular for close to 14 years. There Sammy's true personality really came out....she was a lover, not a fighter. A gentle, soulful presence who radiated a happy comforting peacefulness that warmed the hearts of all those around her.
