Alexander Mackenzie? DIdn’t he discover Canada?
Yes but McKenzie’s dog was named Iron Rations.
yep. they were a part of history right up until the humans, who they would have killed for, got cold and hungry
Didn’t they make a coin with Lewis and Clark’s dog on it?
The North American natives also had dogs—their one domesticated animal until the Spanish horses escaped. They also used them for travel (pack dogs) and food plus other uses.
bmonk: As a Lakota friend of mine said, “A dog either worked or was eaten.” With poverty on the “res”, this is still true.
