A Remembrance Day tribute to Dogs that served and died for us in war

During the Great War, thousands of dogs were sent to the Western Front to patrol, guard, catch rats and carry messages.

In particular, it tells of the Irish Terriers who seemed almost the perfect breed for the hardship and rigours of the trenches.
