Oscar the Traveling Dog Shows You The World

Meet Oscar, the most cultured dog ever to have lived.

This Alsatian, Corgi, Cocker Spaniel, and Basset Hound mix was the first pup to ever have trasversed the entire planet, putting his paws on foreign territory from China to Peru.

Oscar was rescued in 2009 by Joanne Lefson from Cape Town, South Africa. This globetrotting canine helped bring awareness to more than 475 million homeless dogs worldwide. During his trips, he set aside some quality sight-seeing time to sniff around the many wonders of the world.

Unfortunately, Oscar died in a car accident on January 11, 2013, but we're sure he's enjoying first class flights with caviar and champagne somewhere up in doggy heaven. The photos in the gallery above are in memory of Oscar and his finest travels.

Rest in peace, our worldly furry friend.
