Pike Lake State Park - Company 503 Enrollee And Dog, ca. 1933-1942: An enrollee from Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Company 503 poses with a dog. Perhaps this enrollee brought the dog from home or, instead, found it while serving in Pike County and integrated them into camp life. A company pet could provide companionship to these young men, many who were on their own and far from home for the first time in their lives.
