Dog Soldiers

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

In the 1860’s,  the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers were reported to be the “bravest and most noble warriors that ever lived”.  Today that description also describes the amazing dogs that are part of our Military.   This is a moving tribute on K9 Pride to the Dog Soldiers serving as Bomb Dogs – many of whom are deployed to Iraq.

These dogs are amongst our unsung heros.

Amazing Stories of Dog Loyalty

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

If you doubt the loyalty of dogs to their human life partners, consider the amazing stories about

Hachiko, Ruswarp, Dorado, Cash, Greyfriars Bobby and The Frontier SheepDog.

I am sure that there are thousands of untold stories about dogs like these. One of the amazing things to me is that dogs also perform these feats for people that they don’t even know.  Remember the story about the dog in Argentina that saved a newborn baby that has been left in a lot during the winter.  Or the story about the “collie” in Canada that followed a 3 year old as it wandered off into the wilderness, staying with it till it was found.
