dog and bird sitting on a park bench—from Linköping. The sculpture was praised by some, called "grotesque" by others, and became a lightning rod for vandals. It was covered with a large, addressed postcard marked "Return to Sender." A former Stanford University professor was arrested for attempting to light it on fire. It was also doused with paint.<sup id="cite_ref-palhis_121-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-palhis-121"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>121<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When the original heads were decapitated on Halloween, 1993, the statue became a shrine—flowers bouquets and cards were placed upon it. Following an anonymous donation, the heads were restored. Within weeks, the restored heads were decapitated again, this time disappearing. The heads were eventually replaced with new ones, which generated even more distaste, as many deemed the new heads even less attractive.<sup id="cite_ref-palhis_121-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-palhis-121"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>121<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A few months later, the man's arm was chopped off, the woman's lap was vandalized, the bird was stolen, and the replacements heads were decapitated and stolen.<sup id="cite_ref-palhis_121-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-palhis-121"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>121<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The sculpture was removed from its location on Embarcadero Road and Waverley Avenue in 1995, dismantled, and placed in storage until it was destroyed in 2000.
