willysmb44 Posted September 17, 2010 Share #177 Posted September 17, 2010 Good one! Thanks for posting it.Here is another one from the sandbox. Wow, too cute. I’m sure Roman Centurions took local pups into their camps with them for companionship. I always loved the Bill Maudlin cartoon that shows Willie and Joe are in a tent during a driving rain storm. There's a woebegone, drenched dog outside looking in. "Let him in Willie, I want to see something I can feel sorry for." I wish I could find a graphic it online.

Brig Posted July 21, 2011 Share #196 Posted July 21, 2011 dogs are becoming increasingly useful in theater. Many units have Marines designated as handlers, and each platoon/company/etc gets a specific number at all times, the handlers course is a month long. For a good wartime dog story, there's a book called 'From Baghdad With Love' ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine1958Fury Posted November 23, 2011 Share #199 Posted November 23, 2011 My contribution this one is in my own collection....It was in a 1920's photo album from a Marine I have. I love this one. Has anyone seen it before? It for sure appears to be an original photo taken by the album owner not a store bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
