Hendricks Head Light, Sheepscot River, Southport, Maine. One stormy night in 1932, the keeper Charles Knight's family dog, Shep, barked until he was let out. The dog continued to bark at the water's edge, until a couple, who had lost their oars and were getting blown out to sea, were spotted and rescued. Shep was awarded a bronze medal by the Anti-Vivisection Society of New York.
