The Neon Dog is a renovated electrically rotating neon sign in the shape of a dog (10'6″ high, 10'9″ at widest), part of the City of West Hollywood's urban art collection. The proposed project involves installing the Neon Dog atop a 12-foot vertical support column (with the structural foundation and corresponding electrical connections) at the park's Sunset Boulevard entrance between North Kings Road and North Sweetzer Avenue. The proposed art installation is located at a corner to the right of the park entrance. The sign will stand on a tall pole above arms reach, approximately 12 feet above the ground. The trash can and bench will be removed from the area.

It was unfastened and carefully placed in the back of a truck and transported to Ontario, California for much-needed repairs in preparation for it becoming a permanent art installation in West Hollywood.
William S. Hart Park & Off Leash Dog Park is a fenced park between Sunset Boulevard and De Longpre that allows dogs to play off-leash in a tree-lined lot with mulch on the ground, located at 8341 De Longpre Ave, West Hollywood.
