Shep (American dog)

Shep was run over by a train

Monday Jan 12, 1942
Fort Benton, Montana, U.S.

Shep kept this daily vigil for almost six years until he was run over by a train on January 12, 1942. It is believed that his front paws were on one of the rails and he simply did not hear the train until it was too late, and he slipped off the rail. The train's engineer could not stop the train in time.
