Today is the dogs day

A test of conscience
If a dog will not come to you after he has looked you in the face, you ought to examine your conscience.
Woodrow Wilson
In the second world war in England the war office asked the public to lend their dogs to aid the war effort. within days the few staff were buckling under offers from more than 7000 responses.
Among many heartbreaking letters was one which said, `My husband has gone, my son has gone, please take my dog and bring this cruel war to an end.` ( good grief, why is water leaking from my eyes?)
There are so many stories of gallant and heroic dogs, some of whom one medals. Its not surprising that some human soldiers have been proud to be called Dog soldiers.

Have a good weekend all who read this and who dont!
