Large Topiary Poodle

At Plummer Street and Hayvenhurst Avenue, a 15-foot topiary poodle was sheered to life by North Hills resident Brian Welch approximately twenty years ago from ivy overgrowing a telephone pole, its support wires and Welch's fence. Named "Ivy Poodle," the pooch wears a red ribbon collar at Christmas.
