Park honor for hero P.A. dog 
Sirius' ashes will stay in monument at Collins
By Hilda Munoz - Jersey Journal staff writer 

Thursday, September 26, 2002

Sirius, the Port Authority pooch who died at the World Trade Center September 11, 2001 will live on in the memory of those who knew him and those who visit Bayonne's local dog park.The dog park at Dennis P. Collins Park, at First Street in Downtown Bayonne, may be re-named for the canine. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey even plans to give the city an urn with Sirius' ashes, which will be placed permanently inside a monument at the dog park entrance. Plans for the renaming came about during discussion for the Third Annual Bayonne Bridge 5K Benefit Run, scheduled for 
October 6, 2002-8 AM to 9 PM. "In discussing the race with the Port Authority and the Hudson County Animal League it occurred to me that we had the dog park in the shadows of the Bayonne Bridge," said Councilman At-Large Anthony Chiappone. "I thought it would be a nice gesture to honor the dog by naming the park after the dog." Chiappone is a co-sponsor of the race, along with the First Ward Civic Association, the South Hudson Spiked Shoe Club and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. 
The race was initiated in 1998 by Chiappone, then First Ward councilman.
