Atten-HUT ! Dogs in the Military

Did you know dogs like me have been part of our military for decades? Here's just a little of our history in warfare.

• The Belgian army used dogs for hauling machine guns in WW I;
• During WW I we also were used to carry messages to and from the front lines;
• In WW II dogs, donated by their owners, were used in the Pacific to do things like sniff out bombs and find enemy soldiers in hiding;
• In Vietnam more than 5,000 war dogs worked hard to save more than 10,000 lives. Almost 50 dogs were killed in action, along with approximately 75 of their handlers.

I'm proud to salute all our veterans, include the four legged ones too !
