On his namesake day in April 2006, Good Friday Walton wandered up to the home of philanthropist Alice Walton. From that day forward, the two were best friends for the rest of Friday’s life. This sculpture captures his smart, intuitive, and pleasing personality. In Alice’s own words, Friday is a great reminder that “if we could all listen and be as sensitive as dogs are to our needs and emotions, the world would be a better place.”
In addition to being honored at the Best Friends Pet Resource Center, Friday is also celebrated in a sculpture near the south lawn of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and in a children's book called Friday Comes on Tuesday, available in the museum store.
