The Junk Yard Dog

The "Dog" gets some final touch-ups by the Chrome Shop Mafia before heading to the 2012 Shell SuperRigs show back in May.

An old B-Series 3406 Caterpillar engine powers the "Dog."

Bowen says he spent only a small five-figure sum to bring the "Dog" to life as both a working tractor and show truck.

Bowen hosted plenty of visitors at the 2012 Shell SuperRigs show interested to hear the tale of how the "Dog" came into being.

Bowen's nephew (on the right) helped ensure that the "Dog" gleamed as bright as could be during the 2012 Shell SuperRigs event.
