Betty the Stuffed Sleigh Dog

Made a trip here to check out the stuffed dog. Getting old and a little ragged -- losing fur.

Good food and cider available. Also bought a pie to go and was excellent. Just another little, out of the way place to see and eat at. [Elaine, 07/27/2011]

Betty - Dead dog in a sleigh

We visited Crane's restaurant and cider mill/bakery on 01-04-04. "Betty" was there, sitting quietly in a sleigh. We were told that Betty lived in Chicago and when she died in 1937 her owner had her preserved. The cashier there didn't have too much information other than that. She looked pretty good for being dead for 67 years. The pies were great, and the hot cider was good on the snowy day we visited. It was definitely worth a smile or two. [Sharon, 01/04/2004]

Dead Dog in a Sleigh

Betty is Resurrected! The 60 yr. old stuffed dog sits in a sleigh in an enclosed porch just outside the exit door after you pay. A sign says she lived in Chicago in the 1930s. [Carol May, 02/10/2002]

Crane's Pie Pantry Restaurant, Bakeries & Cider Mill, M 89, Fennville, Michigan. Very interesting place, delicious home made everything. Their dead dog "Betty," who lived from 1930-1937, sits in an old sleigh! [Michael Amberg, 09/06/1998]
