Devil Dog Canines:
A Line of Communication in WW2
Thesis
The use of messenger dogs during World War II enabled the United States to help their allies win the war as they were able to send important messages when other means of communication were not available.
"The dogs have proven themselves as message carriers, scouts, and vital night security... They were remarkable and more are needed." - Liuetenant Colonel Alan Shapely, 2nd Marine Raider Regiment
