WWII War Dogs

Recommended Posts

After seeing a couple of the War Log log books posted here I really wanted to try and find one as I collect paper. I found an auction just labeled Seeing Eye dog stuff with a bunch of old paper and could make out the name on an envelope Elliott Humphrey so I researched him and saw that he was a Animal trainer in WWI and War Dog trainer in WWII and one of the original Seeing Eye Dog Trainers in the US. I was hoping it had a couple War Dog documents and it did. Most of the documents were related to his Seeing Eye Dog training and his original manuscripts but there were 3 folders full of WWII War Dogs items. Posting a few of the documents and if anyone is interested I will try and take photos of the rest .

Thanks! I was really hoping for a couple of documents but this really exceeded my expectations even the non military stuff is beyond what I was hoping for.

Thanks! No other photos of the dogs themselves just some of the soldiers themselves a newspaper article. A lot more documents about the different dog training centers in Mississippi , Nebraska one of these was just at an old dump apparently, typed up training manual, letters with War Dog letterheads.

Thanks! I always look at Eric Queen's War Dog stuff and wished I could find some. Now I just need to find some of the certificates for the dogs themselves. My girlfriend wishes they had War Cats but no such luck only He-man had one of those, way to hard to train cats.
