Fantastic photos. It must have been a truly awful feeling to need to manufacture gas masks for dogs...and babies. I've seen some of them up close and they made me shudder just to look at them. I'd have a heckuva time trying to get my Airedale mutt to even put one on, never mind wear it for an extended period.
