The guy's name was Brady. He was a rough sailor who sold Seaman to Meriwether Lewis for $20 after a lot of lying probably to get the price higher. He lyed about Seaman, who he had named Runt, saving him from drowning three times and all sorts of things like that. Also, while Brady was arguing with Lewis, he started calling Sea (Seaman's nickname) Champion so Sea ended up having three different names in the span of just a few minutes. If you want to know more about this, try reading the book "The Captain's Dog My Journey with the LEWIS AND CLARK Tribe" by Roland Smith
