farm collie in <st1:City w:st="on">Silverton</st1:City>, <st1:State
w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State> that in 1924 was on a cross-country car trip with
his owners and was accidentally lost during a stop in <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Indiana</st1:place></st1:State>. Over the
following six months Bobbie made his own way back to <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State></st1:place> traveling over
2.500 miles <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">on paws</SPAN></I> during one of
the hardest winters on record. Upon his return to <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State></st1:place>, exhausted and
bedraggled, Bobbie became instantly world famous and was even listed in <I><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Guinness Book of World Records</SPAN></I> and
<I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Ripley’s Believe It or Not</SPAN></I>.
In Judith’s book, verification of this incredible feat is seen through
excerpts of letters from those kind people on his route who, once they saw the
newspaper publicity, remembered giving this poor tired dog a meal and place to
sleep, only to see him leave the next morning with an apparent purpose.
