During a recent visit to North Alabama, we stopped at the Coon Dog Cemetery. It is the only Cemetery of its kind in the world. Over 300 coon dogs have been laid to rest in this quiet, scenic, natural area.
There are unique headstones and epitaphs paying tribute to man’s best friend. Flowers were on many of the graves.
This cemetery was started in 1937 when Key Underwood buried his faithful coon hound, Troop at the edge of the forest in what used to be a hunting camp.
