The Most Decorated Dog In History Read Online Free PDF Page B

Yorkshire terrier who somehow found herself in the centre of the war in the Pacific and then, miraculously, in the hands of US soldier, Bill Wynne. Smoky’s story could have been cut brutally short. But instead, thanks to her saviour, it was one of luck, survival, protection, heroism and lifelong devotion.
    Not every dog is cut out for active service and most, like Tangye, fall into it because they like being close to soldiers. From the dog’s perspective, the relationship could be based on the quality of the rations and the fuss and attention handed out. From the soldiers’ side it’s because so many cannot bear to see a helpless creature become a victim of cruel circumstances or culture. And so it was that Tangye, a native Afghan pup, was rescued by British soldiers and taken to their hearts – and then taken home to the UK. His fearlessness in battle was rewarded with freedom. In another part of Afghanistan, Arms and Explosives search dog Treo was doing his part by locating deadly IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) and saving hundreds of military and civilian lives.
    War has always been fought between nations, and dogs have always been included in the ranks. As companion or protector, Service ‘equipment’ or mascot, the dog will always give more of itself that first meets the eye. A dog will always give you more than any person could promise in courage, loyalty and love. A dog will always give greatly and go beyond the call of duty.
