6. Bobby
Bobby The wonder dog. We’ve heard many tales of man’s feats of crossing the country in
many impressive manners but there’s something a bit more special when a lone dog can do it to find its way back home.
In 1923 Bobby, a two-year-old Scotch collie English Shepherd mix was separated from his family during a road trip to Indiana and, though the family sought long and hard, they returned home empty-handed and saddened at their apparent loss.
While the family mourned, the determined Bobby wanted one thing: to be reunited with his loving family and so Bobby began his journey, 2551 miles or 4000 kilometer trek across all kind of terrains, to return to Silverton, Oregon. After six months, Bobby
found his way home. His body surprisingly was in good shape despite the ordeal he had gone through (though he lost weight and was filthy). The collie shepherd survived and even went on to play himself in the 1924 silent film The Call of the West. Bobby died in 1927 four years after his epic Trek and has been memorialized ever since.
