Description
"Bobbie The Wonder Dog!" by Thom Zehrfeld
In 1923, a family from Silverton, Oregon took their Collie/Shepard mix dog (Bobbie) on a road trip with them to Indiana. Unfortunately, Bobbie got separated from the family.
They did an extensive search but couldn't find Bobbie. They returned to Oregon heartbroken expecting never top see their puppy again.
Phenomenally, 6 months later, Bobbie appeared on their doorstep showing signs of having walked the entire way back alone. During his trek back home he crossed 2,551 miles in all kinds of terrain...plains, desert, and mountains in winter time conditions.
Needless to say, Bobbie was one famous dog after his return to Silverton, not to mention Ripley's Believe It or Not, books, and a film. Bobbie played himself in the 1924 silent film The Call of the West.
