The Newfoundland is a large breed of working dog.They were originally bred and used as working dogs for fishermen in Newfoundland. They excel at water rescue/lifesaving because of their muscular build, thick double coat, webbed paws, and swimming abilities. Genomic analysis indicates that Newfoundlands are related to the Irish water spaniel, Labrador Retriever, and Curly-Coated Retriever.
In the early 1880s, fishermen and explorers from Ireland and England travelled to the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, where they described two main types of working dogs. One was heavily built, large with a longish coat, and the other medium-sized in build – an active, smooth-coated water dog. The heavier breed was known as the greater Newfoundland, or Newfoundland. The smaller breed was known as the lesser Newfoundland, or St. John's water dog. The St. John's water dog became the founding breed of modern retrievers. Both breeds were used as working dogs to pull fishnets, with the Greater Newfoundland also being used to haul carts and other equipment.
The breed's working role was varied. Many tales have been told of the courage displayed by Newfoundlands in adventuring and lifesaving exploits. Over the last two centuries, this has inspired a number of artists, who have portrayed the dogs in paint, stone, bronze, and porcelain. One famous Newfoundland was named Seaman, one of the most traveled dogs in human history, who accompanied American explorers Lewis and Clark on their expedition from the Mississippi to the Pacific and back, a journey that took three years. A statue of him is included in many Lewis and Clark monuments
In 1919, a dog that is thought to have been a Newfoundland saved 92 people who were on the SS Ethie which was wrecked off of the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland during a blizzard. The dog retrieved a rope thrown out into the turbulent waters by those on deck, and brought the rope to shore to people waiting on the beach. A breeches buoy was attached to the rope, and all those aboard the ship were able to get across to the shore including an infant in a mailbag. Wreckage of the ship can still be seen in Gros Morne National Park. E. J. Pratt's poem "Carlo", in the November 1920 issue of the Canadian Forum, commemorates this dog.
It was December 10th in 1919, when the S.S. Ethie, which was a coastal steamship, left Cow Head en route to Bonne Bay. A great storm developed with high winds force winds with large waves smashing over the ship. The Captain was Edward English. Onboard where 45 passengers plus crew. The mail boat was lost overboard also a lifeboat was ripped to pieces. Along with a snowstorm which severely restricted visibility. The ship was 10 miles southwest of Cow Head and within sight of Martin’s Point. Captain Edward English knew the only chance of survival was to ground the ship ashore by Martin’s Point.
At midday the S.S. Ethie crashed into the rocks, which caused the stern post and rudder to be broken. To test the waters a dory was lowered, though the intense roiling sea soon dispatched it. Time was now critiical as the badly damaged boiler could now blow up at any point.
A local fisherman who was from Martin’s Point his name Reuben Decker, he was at the shore together with his loyal dog and they quickly came to the rescue of the floundering ship. A lifebuoy was tied to a rope & was thrown ashore, it was Reuben’s dog that grabbed the rope from the water. A bosun’s type chair was made out ropes & tied to the cliff. Thankfully all of the crew along with 45 passengers were rescued. Locals welcomed the castaways into their own homes.
