Dog Calls Montana's Superfund Site Home.

By Alex in Animal, Pictures on Jan 4, 2006 at 2:29 am


From the website:

This mysterious mongrel has called the 5,000-acre contaminated expanse of the Berkeley Pit federal Superfund site, combined with Montana Resources’ active mine permit area, its home since 1986. Ironically, its only help in surviving has come from the compassion of miners.

"He really is a neat dog,” says MR Operations President Steve Walsh.

The Auditor, who got his name by always showing up "when you least expected it,” has served as the open pit copper mine’s de facto mascot since its employees befriended the stray nearly 16 years ago. Numerous snap shots of him are proudly placed alongside ore samples and awards plaques in the main office’s glass display case.
