Seaman

Seaman was a Newfoundland dog who accompanied the Corps of Discovery to the Pacific and back after Meriwether Lewis bought him for $20 in Pittsburgh in 1803. Lewis praised him much for his docility and qualifications generally for the journey, and said he was intelligent, loyal, and strong and won the affection of all the crew with his protective and hunting skills. William Clark wrote in his diary that Seaman became "our dog."
