Seaman Lewis

After the Revolutionary War, the United States began westward expansion in earnest. Benjamin Franklin had helped to negotiate the Louisiana Purchase, and surveyors and explorers Merriweather Lewis and William Clark were recruited to go out and assay the new American lands. Captain Merriweather Lewis purchased a Newfoundland dog he would later name Seaman for a total of $20.00 (this would have been just over $500.00 in U.S. money today). Seaman was famous, not just for being Merriweather Lewis' dog as he and Clark traversed the Louisiana Purchase territory, but he is the first dog to have accompanied anyone on a mission beginning at the Mississippi River and ending on the Pacific Coast (the dog also made it back to the origination point).

Captain Lewis purchased Seaman in 1803. In August of that same year, the crew left for the Pacific Coast. Seaman was constantly at Lewis' side. Lewis wrote of the various adventures that the crew encountered, and he often spoke of his dog in these journals. In one entry, Lewis spoke of the mosquitoes. He claimed that both he and Seaman were "tortured" by the pests, stating that "my dog even howls with the torture he experiences from them." At one point, Indians stole Seaman. Lewis was so traumatized by this that he threatened to send armed men in to obliterate the thieves. However, negotiations took place and an agreement was made. Seaman was returned to Merriweather Lewis with no loss of life on either side.

Lewis was so fond of Seaman that he named places in honor of the dog. In Montana, a tributary of the Blackfoot River is known as "Seaman's Creek." (The name has since been changed to Monture Creek.)

Several monuments have been erected in Seaman's honor and memory. There are at least ten total statues honoring Seaman across Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa. A museum in Virginia holds a collar that belonged to Seaman. The inscription, no doubt made by Merriweather Lewis, reads: "The greatest traveller of my species. My name is SEAMAN, the dog of captain Merriweather Lewis, whom I accompanied to the Pacific Ocean through the interior of the continent of North America." Seaman has also been immortalized in much literature and books describing the travels of Lewis and Clark.

Meet the Robinsons Dog Name Considerations

When considering what type of dog breed is best suited for a name inspired by the Meet the Robinsons Disney film, two characteristics come to mind. First, the main character of the film, Lewis, is both highly intelligent and creative. This brings to mind the idea of very clever dog breeds. The Border Collie, German Shepherd, and Shetland Sheepdog are all herding dogs with high intelligence. The German Shepherd's high intelligence also makes him extremely trainable, which is one reason the breed is often tapped for police or military work. Additionally, many sheepdogs are included on the list of highly intelligent pups: the Collie, the Belgian Tervuren, and the Belgian Sheepdog are just a few. Another highly intelligent dog that often works as a therapy or service dog is the Golden Retriever. The Poodle spent many years working as a show dog in traveling circuses across the world. The breed is another of the very smart and easily trained dog breeds. The Schipperke and the Papillion are two small dogs that also rank as highly intelligent. Many spaniels are on the list as well; the Brittany and the English Springer Spaniel are both very inquisitive and very trainable.
