Grave of "Rover," a Greenfield Village Dog, April 1977
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford purchased a black Newfoundland puppy in 1930. The dog, named Rover, would help guard sheep at Greenfield Village's Cotswold Cottage. (Ford envisioned the interpretation of the cottage as the home of an English sheepherder.) The dog became a fixture in the Village. Rover was beloved by many: Gus Munchow--his trainer, Ford, and the schoolchildren of the Edison Institute.
