5. In August 1923, Frank and Elizabeth Brazier, from Silverton, Oregon, drove east to visit relatives. They took their 2-year-old collie, Bobbie, along for the ride. When they reached the town of Wolcott, Indiana, Bobbie saw a pack of dogs and ran after them. That was the last time the Braziers saw Bobbie. Even though they spent days looking for their dog, they lost hope and headed back home. Six months later, Bobbie somehow made his way back to Silverton. Bobbie had traveled approximately 3,000 miles, crossing the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains during the wintertime, to reunite with his owners. His eyes were swollen, his legs were gashed, and his toe pads were worn, but he made it home.
