UPDATE 07/08 : The Doggie Diner head in SF (associated with the former Carousel restaurant) has been lovingly restored and moved to a position on Sloat Blvd.  More information can be found at http://www.outsidelands.org/doggie_diner.php. According to this site, the Doggie Diner head was designed in 1960 by artist Harold Bachman for a chain of 30 drive-in restaurants.

The doggie head stands there, somewhat depressingly, right in the middle of the street, on a traffic median.  The colors are so bright, it almost seems to lack authenticity. Many thanks to Heather David for update. 07-08

The diner may be gone, but this Doggie Diner head rests comfortably at San Jose's Streetlight Records. According to an employee at Streetlight, the doggie head may have come from a Doggie Diner in Fremont, CA. 07-08
