2012.3.1.a-bScope and Content
This document is a clipping of a newspaper article written by John Buchanan, titled "Shep's rest is undisturbed." The article comes from The Denver Post, and was run in January 1972. The article writes about how the Colorado State Highway Department moved Shep's grave. The article goes on to write about Shep's origin as the Turnpike dog, and where his name came from. The article talks about how he survived a tangle with coyotes, and a bullet from a shot gun. He was laid to rest next to the toll house. Due to the extension of the road, the toll booth was tore down, but many people came to protect the grave of Shep, so that his grave was not moved or destroyed.
A clipping of a drawing of Shep, cut out of a newspaper. In the drawing by Joe Barros, Shep is depicted as a large dog who stands above all the cars racing down the highway. Shep is surrounded by a light, and the drawing was probably drawn sometime after his death.Collection
