This episode is dedicated to my dog Milo. To celebrate his life, we are going into the history of the state's most courageous canines, with stories of Lewis and Clark's dog "Seaman", Two-Bits the Terrier, and Bobbie The Wonder Dog.

John Ackroyd. It's a name most of you might not recognize, not like Dahmer or Ted Bundy.
