Off of Aloe St, in Egg Harbor City, sits this really cool spot about 40-50 yards off the road.

Nothing but a small trail leading to it, it was barely visible.

As I got closer, I could tell it was some type of monument.

It turned to be pretty cool, but has been seriously neglected and had a lot of damage.

The stone itself was hardly legible but I could make out a few words. "In Memory of Rover" and "Died xxxxx, 1935".



There is no house near the site, but apparantly the house across the street (which is the closest and not really that close) has nothing to do with it.

Was detained by Galloway Twp police many years ago for exploring this monument.

A very interesting site just be careful about trespassing.

Legend has it that soon after Creation, the earth was torn in two.
Man was on one side of the chasm, all the animals on the other.
Only the dog tried to find a way across to join the man.
He tried to jump the huge abyss
but only his forepaws reached the far edge.
Man reached down and pulled him to safety, saying,
"You shall be my companion forever."
