THE Dog on the Tuckerbox monument north of Gundagai has been vandalised.
The sculptured canine and food container was knocked from its plinth, landing in the wishing well below.
One of the dog's ears was smashed off in the process, but was found at the scene.
Police are seeking a couple alleged to have toppled the statue at 4pm Saturday before driving away in a black Hyundai Santa Fe.

It is unclear in which the direction the man and woman headed.
It is hoped the statue will be repaired before a new tenant takes over the nearby souvenir shop on August 10.
