Silverton's
Bobbie
His Amazing Journey - The True Story
Text by Judith Kent - Illustrations by Gene Nelson
Back in the 1920's, a farm collie named Bobbie performed a homing feat of such great distance and elapsed time, that all who heard of it were skeptical. They just couldn't believe it. Imagine, a dog lost in unfamiliar territory, travelling approximately 2,500 miles over a period of 6 months to reach his master and home.
However, as documentation after documentation began to show up, the amazing journey was finally validated. It has stood the test of time and to this day remains unchallenged as the most outstanding feat in all of dogdom. Lassie and many others have accomplished homing instinct treks, but all pale in comparison to that of Silverton's Bobbie.
As news of this slowly made its way around the country and the world, there were many stories and accounts that were, to say the least, stretched a bit, including a Hollywood style book, which did not even profess to be true.
This led author, Judith Kent to revive this outstanding event, so much a part of Silverton's history. Her book is timed to correspond with Silverton's 150th Anniversary this year. A bronze of Bobbie has been commissioned and will find a permanent home at The Oregon Garden in Silverton.
