A beloved dinosaur statue in Manayunk was replaced after someone snapped off its head in an apparent act of vandalism.

The Manayunk Bridge Park said on Instagram that Holod's True Value Hardware Store on Ridge Pike in Lafayette Hill helped replace it with a new Bridget the Dino statue Tuesday.

"After the heartbreak of seeing Bridget damaged, this unexpected act of kindness means more than words can say," the Manayunk Bridge Park wrote on social media. "The neighborhood love is real — and this Dino is already feeling it."
