Coon Dog Cemetery Labor Day Celebration

Colbert County


“Troop” was known in western Colbert County as the best coon dog in the area.

When he died in 1937, his owner, Key Underwood, went searching for a proper place to lay his best friend to rest.

He came to a scenic spot known as Freedom Hills, and the rest is history.

Today, more than 185 coon dogs are buried there beneath unique headstones and heart-felt epitaphs.
