10,000 Dogs of War Released By Belgians
“Brussels, Aug. 2.-Ten thousand dogs of war are being demobilized. They’re the real dogs that aided the allies as dispatch bearers, watch dogs and staff dogs. And every one of these dogs is honored with a military livery bearing service stripes. Some of the dogs will go back to their owners, who loaned them for the duration of the war.
A big industrial firm has asked for 300 of them. Others will stay in military service. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will adopt the less fortunate, those recovered from wounds of battle, and will see that they have homes for life” – [The Washington herald.
