When, at the request of President Jefferson, Lewis and Clark led an exploration of the American West, they had to feed themselves along the way. It is a fact that they ate 200 dogs.
Lewis took with them (and did not eat) a giant Newfoundland dog, named Seaman. The dog excelled at retrieving game and chasing bears.
Only two statues of Seaman have been erected.
