Broomfield, Colorado - Shep, Toll Road Dog

The grave of the dog is on the southeast corner of the intersection of Highway 36 and Wadsworth. I understand that the dog was a stray, befriended by the workers of the toll booth (when 36 was a toll road). They fed it and cared for it and when it died they buried it there where the toll booth sat. [Sherri Boone, 07/22/2003]
