After months of doctoring in the icy wastes of Alaska, a walk from Anchorage to Tampa was a lark for Robert
Army Air Force doctor Captain Robert Wiese and his dog Brownie navigated the Mississippi during a trek from Alaska to Tampa.
The fifth digit of the right hand is perhaps the most exciting mode of transportation known to man. When all else fails — there's always the thumb. When Captain Robert J. Wiese, an Army Air Force doctor, passed our NBC Welcome Travelers microphone this month we learned further that the thumb is not always a product of necessity.

Brownie, lacking somewhat the doctor's fine taste for trout, was more of a gourmet of rabbit dishes, so Wiese would often shoot hares with the .22-caliber rifle he carried. Occasionally Brownie would scare up a bit of rabbit stew on her own. Once or twice, out of necessity, Brownie and the doctor even shared a can of dog food. "It wasn't bad (Continued on page 26)
