Shep (1 May 1971 – 17 January 1987) was a famous Blue Peter dog, a Border Collie. Shep was bought by the BBC to replace Patch, one of Petra's puppies, born in 1965. He became the main Blue Peter dog when Petra died in 1977.
Shep is remembered by British TV viewers as inseparable from Blue Peter presenter John Noakes. Shep was excitable, and Noakes would often have to restrain him. Noakes' common refrain, "Get Down Shep!", became a catchphrase, and The Barron Knights released a song with that title. Shep left Blue Peter when Noakes departed in June 1978.
Shep also appeared with Noakes in six series of Go With Noakes, from 1976 to 1980. Contrary to popular legend, while Shep belonged to the BBC, Noakes was not required to return Shep to the BBC when he left. Although Noakes retained Shep, he was forbidden to use him for advertising purposes, even though the payments he received for Shep's upkeep whilst on the programme ceased. Noakes used a similar looking dog named 'Skip' in a series of TV ads for dog food in 1978, which infuriated the BBC's Blue Peter production team. Shep died in 1987. Noakes has often become emotional when asked about Shep. He openly wept on an edition of The Weakest Link when hostess Anne Robinson asked him about the dog.
Shep was bred by Audrey Wickham (née Hart), breeder of a number of notable pedigree Border Collies in the Sadghyl line.
Shep was the name given to a herding dog that appeared at the Great Northern Railway station one day in 1936 in Fort Benton, Montana. The dog first appeared at the station when a casket was being loaded on a train heading to the eastern USA. When the train left, the dog kept coming back to the station for every incoming train after that.
It took station employees some time to realize that the body in the casket was probably Shep's master, and Shep was showing up for each incoming train to see if his master would be getting off. The station employees took care of Shep and he lived in and around the station, becoming well known to everyone who passed through.
A few years into his time at the station, Shep and his story was featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not!.
Shep kept this daily vigil for almost six years until he was run over by a train on January 12, 1942. It is believed that his front paws were on one of the rails and he simply did not hear the train until it was too late, and he slipped off the rail. The train's engineer could not stop the train in time.
A few days later, Shep's funeral was attended by nearly everyone in Fort Benton. " Eulogy on the Dog", though written for another dog, was read at the funeral. His grave was placed on a hillside overlooking the town, where it remains to this day.
Shep's story is retold as historical fiction in Shep Forever Faithful by Stewart H Beveridge and Lee Nelson. The folk song "Ol Shep", sung by Ramblin' Jack Elliott, is related but tells a different story.
A bronze sculpture by Bob Scriver of Shep, with his front paws on a rail, was unveiled in Fort Benton in 1994.
Shep (or The Thanhouser Dog or Shep the Dog; died November 1914) was a male collie dog who starred in a number of silent films made by the Thanhouser Company.
