Old Shep

The town on Benton in Montana is probably best known for a border collie that kept a six-year vigil for his beloved owner. The shepherd became sick and died. His dog saw the coffin loaded onto a train.

After that, the dog, named Old Shep, met each incoming train, looking for his master.His devotion became famous. In 1942, Old Shep was killed by a train. He was buried on the bluff overlooking the station, where a memorial to him was erected.
