Bobbie the Wonder Dog, was a real life dog who is said to have found his way home on one of the longest dog journeys ever. Bobbie, a beautiful Scottish Collie, was born in 1921. In 1923, when he was just two years old, he and his humans (Frank and Elizabeth Brazier and their daughters Leona and Nova) went on a road trip in their Overland Red Bird touring car from their home in Silverton, Oregon across the country to Wolcott, Indiana to visit relatives. That's the beginning of one of the longest dog journeys recorded in history.
