Dogs in warfare have a long history starting in ancient times. From war dogs trained in combat to their use as scouts, sentries, and trackers.

The remaining canines were euthanized or left behind. “I would have to disagree strongly with that decision. If they have the means to get all the men out they surely can get the canines out also.”

When it comes to being loyal I don’t think any creature could be more loyal than a dog is to its master. There are countless stories of a dog becoming lost yet loyally finding the way home. I knew an old fellow who left his dog with a relative in North Dakota in the Summertime. That Fall the dog arrived back at home. I would imagine it looked into his Master’s face and asked, “Why did you leave me in North Dakota?” “I did not need all of this exercise walking home.”

“EVERY DOG’S STORY

I have a bed, my very own.
It’s just my size.
And sometimes I like to sleep alone
with dreams inside my eyes.

So I climb on the bed where the light of the moon
is shining on your face
and I know it will be morning soon.

Everybody needs a safe place.”
― Mary Oliver, Dog Songs
