Bobbie the Wonder Dog: The Story Behind Lassie

Bobbie the Wonder Dog’s story is a true example of loyalty and determination. After getting separated from his family, this good boy walked over 2,500 miles to find his way home. Bobbie faced freezing temperatures, climbed mountains, and overcame countless other challenges, but he never gave up.

Born in 1921, Bobbie was a Scotch Collie (aka Rough Collie) and English Shepherd mix celebrated for his intelligence and loyalty. He lived in Silverton, Oregon with the Brazier family. Some stories say that when the Braziers moved from their farm into the city to open a restaurant, they sold Bobbie along with the farm.

Bobbie’s remarkable adventure began during a family road trip that took an unexpected turn, setting the stage for his story of survival, loyalty, and love.
