Lewis' dog, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, was of the Newfoundland breed. Historians differ on whether the dog was named "Seaman" or "Scannon", depending on how you read Lewis' writing. Seaman (or Scannon) accompanied Lewis all the way to the Pacific Ocean and returned with him to St. Louis. Seaman was most likely purchased by Lewis before he left Washington D.C., for Pittsburgh in 1803. According to his Ohio journal, Lewis paid a substantial sum of $20 for the dog whom he "prised much for his docility and qualifications generally for my journey."
