Snooks, a half collie half Spitz dog, was awarded a real gold medal by Vice President Richard Nixon for saving her owner Shirley Mesher during a fire. The dog celebrated by seven puppies and endured surgery before dying of a heart attack in El Paso. The Meshers planned a funeral and embalming, but the coffin was lost in transit en route to a Silver Spring cemetery.
