Shown here is Pee Wee, the mine dog who found a home at the Rogers No. Pee Wee was always around for shift-changes when the morning and afternoon miners mingled about, as food and affection were liberally offered. These two photos by Barry Kombol from April 1974 show Pee Wee carrying a miner’s lunch box and receiving the attention which all canines crave. As business expanded, mules replaced dogs and eventually electric haulage from steam power replaced both. 3 closed in 1975, Pee Wee became the last mine dog to grace an underground coal mine in Washington.
