Historical Dog Story of the Week

Meet Owney, the scruffy stray who became the globe-trotting mascot of the U.S. Railway Mail Service in the late 1800s.

He racked up over 140,000 miles, collecting tags and fans everywhere he went—earning a harness from the Postmaster General himself.

Today, his legendary travels live on at the Smithsonian’s Postal Museum, where he's honored with a stamp and a place in history. Get to know Owney by clicking here now!
