K9 Bane may soon be honored with a bronze statue
St. Francis’ K9 Bane may get a bronze statue, but he has a debilitating disease that might prevent him from seeing it
K9 Bane may soon be honored with a bronze statue similar to South Milwaukee native Reggie “Da Crusher” Lisowski. Mirroring how funds were raised for the statue of “The Man Who Made Milwaukee Famous,” a GoFundMe has been set up called the K9 Bane Hero Fund to, in part, fund the construction at the St. Francis Civic Center.
St. Francis Detective Holly McManus, who took ownership of K9 Bane for $1 after he retired in October 2020, wants to have the statue done next year — hopefully before degenerative myelopathy takes the life of St. Francis’ first K9. A spinal condition, degenerative myelopathy affects a dog’s ability to stand and walk.
