Bobbie the Wonder Dog (1921–1927) was a dog who is acclaimed for walking 2,551 miles (4,105 km) on his own to return home to Silverton, Oregon, United States, after he was lost while his owners were visiting family in Wolcott, Indiana.[1] Ripley's Believe It or Not! estimated the journey may have been as long as 3,000 miles (4,800 km).[2]
