The Newfoundland is supposed to be 'Bob', said to have been shipwrecked off the coast of England, becoming a stray on the London waterfront. He is recorded as saving 23 people from drowning over fourteen years, for which he was declared a distinguished member of the Royal Humane Society, entitling him a medal and daily food.
However, when Landseer tried to paint Bob he could not be found, so another Newfoundland, 'Paul Pry', was subsistuted.
