Shep: Our Most Loyal Dog

I first heard the story of Shep while on a motorcycle trip through MT in 2004. A little old man in a bar told me of Fort Benton and the Shep memorial. He told me the story of Shep the loyal sheep dog who's owner had died but Shep faithfully waited each day by the train station in hopes that he would return. The local people in town wanted to take Shep in but he stayed. They fed and took care of him as much as they could until one day, Shep passed. I had to see it for myself and headed to Fort Benton. I couldn't believe it two years later when I saw a book w/the same title and wondered if it could be the "Shep" I had heard of. I was so excited when it was and his memory is in print forever. I gave away my copy already at a friend's baby shower and have to pick up another.
