A class at Margaret Leary Elementary School in Butte unveiled the statue of a dog that is part of Butteâs rich folklore - borne from a tragic explosion that killed more than a dozen firefighters 125 years ago.
The un-named black dog belonged to Butte firefighter William Copeland, who died in the 1895 Kenyon-Connell warehouse explosion. The dog survived and stayed by his guardian s side, even in death.
The students in Maria Robinsonâs fifth-grade class gave the dog a name, which is the Irish word for loyal : Dilis.
