Meet Smoky, the Tiny World War II Veteran and "Best Mascot in the South Pacific"

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 01:00 PM PST

Since today is Veteran's Day, meet Smoky!

Smoky, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier, was found in a foxhole in the New Guinea jungle. Her owner, Bill Wynne describes how he came to be with Smoky:

"Smoky was found in the jungle foxhole by Ed Downey a friend ,who not liking dogs gave it to motor pool Sgt. Dare from whom I bought her the next day for two Australian pounds ($6.44 American) so Dare could get back in a poker game."

Smoky went with Wynne from then on and, in the course of eighteen months of combat with the 26th Photo Recon Sq., of the 6th Photo Recon Group, 91st Photo Recon Wing, 5th Air Force, Smoky was credited with twelve combat missions and awarded eight battle stars. YANK magazine named Smoky, "Champion Mascot of the Southwest Pacific Area in 1944."

More than a just mascot, Smoky became a war dog on Luzon in January 1945 when a taxistrip had to be crossed by a communications cable, requiring a culvert to be dug up. She was the main solution by leading with the wires through an eight inch pipe under the runway, and climbing through piles of sand accumulated along the 70 foot length.

Not to be stopped after that, Smoky became the first Therapy Dog (as investigated by Animal Planet) and found she was the first documented in that role. Smoky started in July 1944, at the 233rd Station Hospital, in New Guinea, where she accompanied nurses to see the incoming wounded and go on rounds with Dr. Charles W. Mayo of the Mayo Clinic. She didthis for twelve years, during and after World War II.

There is a special monument honoring Smoky was built after she passed in 1957, in Cleveland, OH. A new monument is planned for an expanded war memorial site in Veterans' Park that will honor more War Dogs.

These Photos of An Abandoned Yorkshire Terrier Caring For Two Kittens As If They Were Her Own Will Melt Your Heart

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 11:00 AM PST

They didn't know how or why... but there they were abandoned in a neighbor's yard. I shook my head. Called a good rescue friend. And took out the camera.

She recently had puppies… and now she was nursing two small kittens.
Caring for them as if they were her own.
Protecting them and teaching them.
Compassionate and loving.
And doing all the motherly things.
And happy to have the job.

The (thus far) unnamed Mama Yorkie & kitties have been graciously taken in by Buster's Friends Rescue. If you would like to help with their care, you can click on the yellow donate button here: http://bustersfriends.org/. Thank you.
