The "War Dogs" prevented the deaths of many Marines on the islands. Thank you for the pictures.

HI;
Some good information on the "War Dogs" in the book: Always Faithful: A Memoir of the Marine Dogs of WWII
Also, I have heard the this DVD is good: War Dogs of the Pacific. I just ordered the DVD.

If you get to know a cat and develop a relationship, he will model to you an interesting and admirable combination of independence, self-containment, dignity, and loyalty. Without the relationship you may never see it.

My cats work for me, but I work for my dogs on our farm!
Seriously, the special on the War Dogs of the Pacific is pretty sad if you are a dog lover. I would have a hard time volunteering my dog for war, but many children and families did it during WWII. Shows the pride and since of duty people had back then from the youngest to the oldest Americans.
