The Hoover Dam construction crew’s mascot was found as a puppy by workers at the construction camp. The dog traveled to and from the dam site with them and spent his days visiting the many work areas. On February 21, 1941, the life of this devoted animal came to an end when a truck under which he was sleeping rolled over him. The grave below was completed by workers later that same day.
