It is safe to say that the average man or woman has noconception of the extremely important part played bythe dog in war. For generations we have called the dog the friend ofman without thinking very deeply, perhaps, just what thatfriendship entails. In war it means going with man intothe turmoil of battle, without regard to danger, suffering,freezing cold and burning heat simply because, havingelected to work with man, he refuses to desert him, comewhat may. It is easy enough to claim that the dog does these thingsbecause he has no imagination and cannot therefore countthe cost of his sacrifice. But is that quite fair? Perhapsnot. So rather than question the source of his bravery,let us give credit where credit is due for a measure ofselfless devotion to man's cause unmatched by that of anysoldier of the battlefield. |
