Holland, MI —
About a month ago, just after memorial day, our columnist, veterinarian Dr. Eric Heitman, sent us this picture of the War Dog Memorial. This explanation of it comes from
www.vet.utk.edu/wardog/:
“A noble Doberman pinscher represents hundreds of heroic war dogs that served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. Although most were Doberman pinschers, German shepherds, Labrador retrievers and, occasionally, a collie served during the war as sentries, messengers and scouts. But they also served other roles to the Marines who served with them ... devoted friend, confidant, trusted companion.”
