Not so much pets, but hunting dogs. I have seen a great deal of marked hunting dog burials on various rural hunting tracts in both East Texas and Western Colorado.

Not elephants, BUT often on rural sites I've stumbled (sometimes literally)
on what appear to be fieldstone grave markers.  In my own yard, our
fieldstone markers denote pet burials.  Everyone (except Mr. McCoy, who was
exhumed and moved to a now unidentified final resting place) is accounted
for from my farmhouse, built in 1890; they are in official cemeteries.

Anyone else had pet burials marked like that?
