The “leader,” known as the dog of Signal Hill, died. Owner Becky Jackman announced the sad news on Facebook over the weekend. He says the eight-year-old Newfoundland dog succumbed to cancer. Chief, “the sweet droolball we got to hug and love every day,” has been a popular attraction over the years for visitors to Signal Hill. The dog appeared in hundreds of photos with tourists and locals against the backdrop of Cabot Tower and the city skyline. Hundreds of memories and photos of the Chief have been shared by people on Jackman’s Facebook page.
