Patrick, My grandfather was in the 314th Infantry in France. They befriended a German Terrier, who did not understand English! He later was named Pat, and became their mascot. He was brought back with the troops to the USA and lived with a solder in Pennsylvania. Upon Pat's death he was taxidermy-preserved and became part of the 314th's archives.

ReplyDeleteExcellent. In death, no dog could do better than to be taxidermied and remembered forever as a friend to the soldiers who saved him. It sounds odd, but it is, in fact, wonderful.
