Notes

Admin or Biographical History: Veterinarian Clyde Brunner opened the Broomfield Veterinary Hospital in 1957. The Brunner family, starting with Clyde's grandfather Albert Brunner, had already lived in Broomfield since 1919. Clyde Brunner's most well known patient was Shep, the Turnpike dog who was cared for by toll booth operators at the US 36 turnpike. Brunner began giving veterinary services to Shep for free shortly after opening his hospital in 1958, after Shep was wounded from a shotgun blast; Brunner helped Shep to survive the ordeal, and continued to care for him until Shep's death in 1964. Brunner also later served as Broomfield's mayor for two years, between 1967 and 1969. Returning to veterinary work, Brunner finally retired in 2013 after treating over 100,000 animals.
