Just too High
It was clear the dog was determined to complete his mission, seeing he went as far as 28 feet high up the trunk. He was no longer able to go up, nor could he pull himself from a distance it was, so it stayed there until it died. The position of the creature led the tree to become a “chimney setting” where air would be pushed upward. As such, luring insects and other creatures who feed on dead meat could not have smelled anything from below.
In addition to this, the chestnut tree helped in preserving the animal by hardening the skin and sapping all moisture from it. But, it was evident a lot of people had different thoughts and were even eager to give the animal a name.

The dog was popularly known in the Southern Forest World as the mummified dog up until 2002. It stood in the center of the museum and was a standout from the other lumber species like oak, cypress, and pine.
To date, it plays an integral role in the museum’s existence as it is an ambassador for the museum as well as it is the base image used for postcards and promotional materials.
