Statue Of Lewis & Clark with Seaman the Newfoundland Dog.

JEFFERSON CITY — The Missouri House on Thursday rejected an attempt to name a dog that accompanied explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark as the state historical dog.
Lawmakers voted 84-67 to defeat a bill honoring Seaman, a Newfoundland that traveled with Lewis and Clark more than 200 years ago.
Missouri is home to four statues recognizing the dog, including one at the state Capitol.
Rep. Jason Brown, R-Platte City, said two fourth-graders approached him and asked that the state give the dog the honor. Brown said Seaman protected Lewis and Clark and deserves state acclaim.
