Welcome to Owney's second book, a book that hopes to give his many fans a wider view of his life as the most traveled dog in America --- 143,000 miles in Rail Post Offices (RPO).

Welcome to Owney's second book, a book that hopes to give his many fans a wider view of his life as the most traveled dog in America --- 143,000 miles in Rail Post Offices (RPO). What we don't know about Owney, is exactly where he went and who he met on each trip. The amazing part of his story is that Owney traveled to all these places alone. He rode on mail trains from city to city, and inside a city, on any mail wagon by himself. So, this means Owney had a life, friends and adventures that were not written down. Because he lived and traveled in a different time --- 1888 / 1896 ---he lived in a world that was different, more generous, and easier than the world we live in now. In a way, we can think of him as a dog who has come to tell us about this past world --- yet in this book, it's as if one of us were traveling along with him --- out of sight, watching this remarkable dog make friends and have adventures none of us could even dream of.

Have fun as you travel along with Owney in his world.
