Can't you just hear the dog on the left saying "OK, that was high and to the left... try dropping your elbow and this time hold your breath."

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.

Good ones, guys! Keep them coming. Today's picture is from a Marine landing on the Delta. She looks just like my Abby when she was a puppy (she's 13½ now!). Enjoy! :D

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' ...

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.
