Shep's Race with Death is a 1914 American short silent drama film, directed by Jack Harvey for the Thanhouser Company.

[1] The film about a "collie dog [who] wins a race with death, saves the life of his mistress, and causes a happy family reunion", was released on November 1, 1914.

The Bioscope wrote on February 11, 1915: "A somewhat tepid and not very convincing story of a dog which saves a little girl's life and thereby brings her parents together again.

"[1] However, The Moving Picture World wrote on November 14, 1914: "The mother-in-law's appearance temporarily wrecks the home of the girl twins, the mother and father separating, each taking a child.

The big dog, Shep, pulls the runaway horse off the railroad track, where it had stopped, thus saving the life of one twin.
