Reports say Dillon's horse, Buck, retired into helping mental patients, learn to ride, until it's death in 1992. The horse was said to 45 years old, subtract that from 1992, you're at 1947. Gunsmokes first aired in 1955...that would have made the horse 8 years old, at the first episode.

In "Gunsmoke," Doc Adams often used a horse-drawn buggy to travel around Dodge City. While the specific fate of the buggy isn't detailed in the series, it served as a key mode of transportation for Doc throughout the show. As a fictional series, the buggy exists primarily as a prop within the context of the story. After the show's conclusion, the buggy likely remains part of the show's memorabilia, possibly in a museum or collection related to "Gunsmoke."
