Today I’m excited to tell you about a family of dogs who have a very important job. They are known as Bat Dogs, not like batman but more like bat boy. You’ll meet Chase, nicknamed That Golden Thunder, and his son Derby for “Homerun Derby.” and their baseball-loving offspring. We’re fully immersed in the baseball season here at our house so I loved researching this one.

Seaman - The Lewis & Clark Dog
1 RecommendationsWe meet one of the most famous dogs in American History - a Newfoundland named Seaman, who was one of the members of the famous Lewis and Clark expedition.
In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson selected Meriwether Lewis to lead what became known as the Lewis & Clark Expedition. That mission was to explore the Missouri River and waterways to the Pacific ocean in search of a water route across the continent. Captain Meriwether Lewis invited his buddy and colleague William Clark to join and share command of the group. That was a very important moment in American History.
What you might not know is that something else, equally important to the expedition happened in 1803. Meriwether Lewis purchased a Newfoundland dog and named him Seaman. In their journals, we learn about Seaman's adventures and perils on the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
