Henry's three week update:

The wife and I had to be out of town for a couple of days. So we opted to drop Henry off at the parents ranch for him to get aquatinted with the Aussie pack.

Did ok at first but by the first 24 hours, was one of the pack. Typical guy though, was showing off for the ladies I guess.

Interesting but not extraordinary as the professor played it up. I have had dogs that could fetch specific toys. I've also always known my golden IS the best and smartest dog in the world!

The Dog Who Could Fly: The Incredible True Story of a WWII Airman and the Four-Legged Hero Who Flew At His Side
by
Damien Lewis
http://img1.imagesbn.com/p/978147673...4_s260x420.JPG


True account of a German shepherd who was adopted by the Royal Air Force during World War II, joined in flight missions, and survived everything from crash-landings to parachute bailouts—ultimately saving the life of his owner and dearest friend.

In the winter of 1939 in the cold snow of no-man’s-land, two loners met and began an extraordinary journey that would turn them into lifelong friends. One was an orphaned puppy, abandoned by his owners as they fled Nazi forces. The other was a different kind of lost soul—a Czech airman bound for the Royal Air Force and the country that he would come to call home.

Airman Robert Bozdech stumbled across the tiny German shepherd—whom he named Ant—after being shot down on a daring mission over enemy lines. Unable to desert his charge, Robert hid Ant inside his jacket as he escaped. In the months that followed the pair would save each other’s lives countless times as they flew together with Bomber Command. And though Ant was eventually grounded due to injury, he refused to abandon his duty, waiting patiently beside the runway for his master’s return from every sortie, and refusing food and sleep until they were reunited. By the end of the war Robert and Ant had become British war heroes, and Ant was justly awarded the Dickin Medal, the “Animal VC.”

Sergeant Stubby-

The Wiki read tells just a tiny amount of Stubby's incredible life.

Sergeant Stubby (1916 or 1917 – March 16, 1926), has been called the most decorated war dog of World War I and the only dog to be nominated for rank and then promoted to sergeant through combat, a claim for which there is no documentary evidence, but was recognized in connection with an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution. He was the official mascot of the 102nd Infantry, assigned to the 26th (Yankee) Division. Stubby served for 18 months and participated in seventeen battles on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, found and comforted the wounded, and once caught a German soldier by the seat of his pants, holding him there until American soldiers found him.

How to hug a baby | Learning from Dogs

pretty amazing story about the first dog awarded the congressional medal of honour.

Thanks Zavo and gordner....wow......very humbling isn't it?

Is that "Brutus" who's hugging the baby?
Great link...Thanks for posting that!!!
Amazing...and heart-warming.

Yes my understanding is that is his handlers new baby. Says something when the guy who knows how he earned that medal has the faith to put him with his child....dogs will never cease to amaze me, almost as much as their vet bills amaze me lol

Related article that I recently read, more about dog vs dolphin and different types of intelligence and the difficulty in testing and ranking.

Sooo much personality in these little dogs. I've always owned big dogs, but I could see myself owning a dachshund.

Craig.....I've owned medium to big size dogs all my life (loved them all)....but there is nothing quite like a dachshund! Except maybe two or three dachshunds!
