Tom Y Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Man's bestfriend has been associated with war since time immemorial. I can picture a Neanderthal saying, "Sic 'em, Wuff." They were used as combattants, aid workers, and for just plain companionship. This little fellow falls into the last class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Like all good soldiers, they needed a little R&R now and then. But sometimes there were repecussions, as this Sch?ferhund found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention many of the smaller dogs such as terriers were used to hunt and kill rats. Dan Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't have. My Uncle Joe kept terriers instead of cats to patrol the barn. The little guy in the first photo looks a little too portly to be a good ratter, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Dwyer Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I don't have any "dogs of war" since I only collect postcards of royalty and generals, but I do have a few with dogs in them. Unfortunately, I seem to only have one cataloged on my computer right now.Crown Prince Willy and friend............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
