The Newfoundland has a long and storied history. As a lifesaver, their herooic exploits have been featured in stories for young and old. Newfoundlands like Seaman and Brumus have had a front seat view of history unfolding. Many classics literary figures like Emily Dickinson and J.M. Barrie shared their lives with Newfoundlands, and included them in their works.
