Believed to be the oldest pet cemetery in the United States and the second oldest in the world is Hornell's unique and well-kept cemetery--Friendship Grove located on Bald Hill, just outside the city limits of the city of Hornell, N. Y. Here are put to rest deceased pets from all over the county. Although the cemetery was originally started with the idea of burying only dogs, there are cats, canaries, monkeys and also a horse and a lion buried there.
