Pilgrim's Dogs


"I had no idea that two dogs, a Mastiff and an English Springer Spaniel, were aboard the Mayflower. They are mentioned in records of the settlement of Plymouth Colony written by Edward Winslow in 1622. They seemed to have belonged to John Goodman and probably had pet names, but none are given. "

You can read about some of their adventures at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mosmd/pilgdogs.htm
