DavidM Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 HelloThe only 'awards' that I have ever seen documented to animals, such as messenger dogs, were unofficial 'home made' items which the troops gave to the animal for services rendered. I've never seen or heard of an actual EK being awarded to an animal - which of course doesn't mean it didn't happen, but I would find it unlikely. However, some of the things that go on in times of war are strange, to say the least !!
