On the bank of the Afon (River) Ffyddion opposite the New Inn car park, in the shadow of a small brick-built building, stands an old stone.
This marks the grave of a dog, owned by the Rev. John Owen, Vicar in the early 1900s. The inscription was recorded in 1963 by the late Mrs Barbara Manwell and reproduced in “Dyserth an Historic Village” by Ronald & Lucy Davies.
It read:-
Blame not the tribute
of a passing tear.
here lies poor Addy
To us so dear.
Of dogs the noblest,
gentlest and the best.
Gone now forever
to his last long rest.
(The date was illegible)
