Richard Sugg joins us again to discuss the weird story of Bobbie the Wonder Dog (aka Silverton Bobbie) - a dog that took a trip of more than 2500 miles to return to its family. The centenary of this event is almost on us - and this is our 300th episode of the show. Lots to think about in this episode and I hope you'll share your own thoughts about what mechanisms might be at play behind the phenomenon of animals that manage to find their way home.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbie_the_Wonder_Dog">Bobbie the Wonder Dog (wiki)</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioNtH0qrKO8">News coverage of Bobbie's legend</a><a href="https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/bobbie_the_wonder_dog/">Oregon Encyclopedia coverage</a><a href="https://catsinternational.org/incredible-journeys-by-incredible-cats/">Story of homing cats</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3rjWtTx">A Singing Mouse at Buckingham Palace: and other amazing animal stories from the nineteenth century</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3D2jBbU">Mummies</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3pH5kye">Vampires</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3D3mGIL">Fairies</a><a href="https://amzn.to/46HPHaA">Richard's Amazon page</a>Pop Culture:<a href="https://amzn.to/43kBai1">HOMEWARD BOUND</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeYe990biYI">THE CALL OF THE WEST 1924 (Partial - via YouTube)</a>Richard's previous visits:#83 - <a href="https://www.monstertalk.org/083-the-cures-of-the-mummys-tomb/">Cures of the Mummy's Tomb</a> #92 - <a href="http://%20https://www.monstertalk.org/092-fangs-that-go-bump-in-the-night/">Fangs that go bump in the night</a> Learn more about your ad choices.
