From Wikipedia:
“The National War Dog Cemetery is a memorial to war dogs located at Naval Base Guam and is the first official war dog monument in the U.S. The cemetery honors the dogs—mostly Doberman Pinschers—that were killed in service with the United States Marine Corps during the Second Battle of Guam in 1944.”
The sculpture, by Susan Bahary, depicts Kurt, a Doberman that saved 250 Marines when he warned them of a large Japanese contingent ahead.
Similar war dog memorials have subsequently been established at seven other locations in the United States.

They are invaluable.
Like. Also, an interesting assortment of dog names. My grandchildren just got a puppy. His name is Ollie.
Oh I’ll bet they are positively delirious with joy. That home will never be the same!
