Bobby the Road-Trippin' Mutt Marvel: A Yarn about 2,551 Miles

Meet Bobby the Wonder Dog, a Scotch Collie-English Shepherd mixedbreed who hitched a ride on a 2,551-mile journey from Silverton, Oregon to Wolcott, Indiana, then back again. All for finding his human pals, Frank and Elizabeth Brazier.

Rooted in the vivid landscapes of Silverton, Oregon in 1921, Bobby the Wonder Dog was more than just a mutt. He was a lively Scotch Collie-English Shepherd blend, having struck gold by scoring the affections of the memorable duo, Frank and Elizabeth Brazier. A particularly memorable August in 1923 found this fiery canine and his treasured companions venturing on an epic roadie to catch up with family in Wolcott, Indiana. From riding on the sideboard of their reliable 1923 Willys-Overland Model 92 Red Bird to scampering alongside it, that's how Bobby rolled. But that was the month when Booby decided to take in the sights all across Indiana, leaving Frank and Elizabeth in a bit of a tizzy.
