'Junk Yard Dog,' a 22-foot-tall cartoonish dog sculpture built in 2006 by noted Texas folk artist Bob 'Daddy-O' Wade, standing outside the Junk Yard Dogs junkyard in San Antonio. Built from a 1966 Plymouth Fury (head and neck, standing on end), a VW Beetle hood (nose), and a shaved-down Cadillac hood (tongue), among other automotive parts, with a sassy grin and a cigar in its mouth.
