[post_page_title]Eleanor H. Ritchey – to her 150 dogs[/post_page_title]
Eleanor Ritchey, the oil and railroad heiress, is best known for her charitable contributions to the livelihoods of dogs. She was the greatest funder for the Auburn University Veterinary School, and her relationship with it came about through Dr. Ivan Frederickson, her private veterinarian.
Unquestionably, she was one of his greatest customers. An inveterate dog lover, when she passed away in 1968, Ritchey’s 180 acre ranch was home to 150 dogs and $4.5 million to pamper them in her passing.
