WELL LET THE PARTY BEGIN AND ALL OF OUR LOVE TO YOUR CATS ON THEIR SPECIAL DAY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TELL US HOW YOU CELEBRATED THE DAY

For Your Consideration

Thank you so much for checking out A Blog from the Dog House. Your blog sounds fantastic and I can't wait to see the stories you find. I also encourage your readers to read one of my latest posts and find out how they can help a veteran and win a suite of Greenies products.

June 3, 2011 12:35 PM

WHAT THIS BLOG HOPES TO BE

   Thank you for visiting. The goal of this site is to provide you with about 8 stories per day that I have found to be some of the best, published from various newspapers or other sites for the day. I have been going through 30 to 40 per day to hopefully entertain and inform you. Some of the sites may be older, but I will include them if it is a discovery I find special. Above and beyond this, I want to make this a community where you share your information and your blog with others. Please feel free to list your site in the comment section so others can drop on by. I will gladly list your site in the blogs I follow so that anytime a member comes by they can see what you are up to.

   I started a sports history blog on April 20 and today as I write this, if you go to google and type in “sports history June 3” you will get 416 million hits and my blog is #5 on the first page – http://sportshistory365.blogspot.com/ . My goal is the same for this and the title of the blog should pop out. It is all a matter of drawing traffic and communicating to and from one another. I hope in effect to create a community of active pet lovers (a directory) if you will.

   You will see at the top of the blog there is a charity that donates a nice portion of sales to the Animal Rescue Site. I am affiliated with the other ones you see and I will donate 10% of whatever I receive from them to the charity (usually 6-10% for listing them) and I will keep you informed. If you like to eat (just being silly) I have a daily recipe blog that has recipes from well known restaurants and access to cookbooks carrying them - http://www.recipefinds.blogspot.com/

If you have young children or grandchildren, I just started a daily study guide directed at home school mothers, but can be used by anyone and is very child friendly and easy -  http://www.dailyhistory365.blogspot.com/ Please visit if you choose.

   If you read only one article, please read the last one under “Pet Stories for Memorial Day”. It is just the best dedication for man and dog there is in my opinion.

P.S. If you leave a comment (which I hope you will), please leave it in the post below this, as I will be moving this to the top of the page daily and cannot keep the comments when I delete and re-post.

                                                           Thank You

FAMOUS DOG HEROES IN HISTORY

ooking back through history there are a great number of dogs that have quite literally left a lasting impression. Unfortunately there are just as many unsung heroes in the canine world that did outstanding things to help people that are not recorded or recognized. Most of the dogs that have become famous in history are not purebreds, nor were they particularly trained for anything, they were just very intelligent dogs that did what had to be done. Some of the famous dogs even gave their lives to save humans or help humans in some way, making them true heroes.

Laika

Laika became a heroic figure as the first canine to ever go into space. She was selected from a group of stray dogs found in Moscow. Laika was selected because of her size as well as her calm temperament and disposition. As a space dog Laika orbited the earth in the Russian spaceship, Sputnik 2 launched on November 3, 1957.

Although Russia had previously send two other dogs up to orbit earth just about 43 miles above the surface, Laika was actually sent into outer space, some 900 miles above the earths surface. Before leaving the ground she had to go through training on how to eat special foods and learn to wear a specially designed canine space suit. There was no recovery of her capsule planned so she gave her life so that scientists on earth could understand the effects of space travel on a living system that was similar to a human body.

The Institute for Aviation and Space Medicine in Moscow has now dedicated a plaque to Laika and the other dogs that were used in early experiments in space travel.

Rin Tin Tin

Although Rin Tin Tin movies were dramas based on fictitious stories, the actual dog had a very heroic life. He was literally saved by an American soldier by the name of Lee Duncan, a corporal at the time, who found an abandon German dog training station when on a patrol in 1918 in the war-torn country. Within the fenced area Corporal Duncan spotted a female German Shepherd trying to protect her five puppies. A soft heart, Duncan brought the mother and the puppies back to the American base where they became somewhat base mascots and pets.

When the war ended Corporal Duncan brought a male and a female puppy back to the United States. The female he named Nannette and the male Rin Tin Tin. In 1922 Rin Tin Tin stared in his first western, and became a working movie star for Warner Brothers in 1923 with his very own contract. He was a true star and repaid Lee Duncan for his kindness many times over.

Rin Tin Tin made over 40 movies in his career and retired to live out his life with his owner.

Seaman

The huge Newfoundland named Seaman was the dog that traveled with the Lewis and Clarke expedition as they mapped their trek through the United States. A very intelligent dog Seaman was credited with saving different people on the voyage by rescuing them from drowning and helping to defend the camp and livestock from attacks by predators.

Jofi therapy sessions were going on. Sigmund Freud noted how patients would respond differently, usually much more openly and candidly when Jofi was in the room. It is often considered that Jofi was the first therapy dog, not only for what she did for patients but because of her therapeutic effect on Sigmund Freud himself.

Donnchadh

This Scottish dog was owned by Robert the Bruce and in 1306 Edward the lst of England attempted to have Donnchadh located his master so Edward could have him killed. Although they did succeed in tracking the dog back to Robert the Bruce, Donnchadh turned on his followers and attacked them to save his master and change Scotland's history.

Buddy

Despite the name, Buddy was actually a female German Shepherd. She made history by being the first formally trained seeing eye dog in the United States, setting groundbreaking laws as to the access to areas that Guide Dogs now have. Without Buddy and her outstanding temperament and behavior as a Guide Dog these laws may have been very slow in being passed. Buddy was trained by Morris Frank who continued to train Guide Dogs through his school, The Seeing Eye.

War Dogs

There are a long list of dogs that have served as mascots, military dogs and even as actual enlisted soldiers holding specific ranks throughout the history of military agencies. In particular war dogs have been made famous through literature and movies, however there are great number of these mascots that are known only to the men that served with them.

While there are too many war dogs to mention, there are some notable dogs from almost every military organization worldwide. A very brief listing includes:

·  Chesty, a mascot dog from a line of Bulldogs that serves as the mascot for the Marine Barracks in Washington, DC. These dogs are considered as enlisted soldiers and typically retire with a rank of Corporal.

·  Judy, an English Pointer and a Royal Navy ship dog was awarded the Dicken Medal in 1946. She was the only pet or animal that ever became a registered Japanese prisoner of war. After her release she lived until 1950 with her adoptive owner, Frank Williams.

·  Smokey, a small Yorkshire Terrier was the most decorated dog of World War ll. Weighing only four pounds at maturity and measuring only seven inches, she was small enough to fit into a backpack or hide in a small space when needed. She was credited with flying in 12 combat missions and living in conditions where fully trained war dogs were not able to survive. After her wartime career she helped run wire through underground pipes and tunnels to build new air force bases. In addition she did shows for weary soldiers that included parachute jumps and was actually one of the first therapy dogs that the military used in veterans hospitals in New Guinea in 1944.
