Youth War Dogs T-Shirt

Description

While the horse and mule were rapidly passing from the military scene the Army during World War II, ventured into a new and comparatively untried field of activity – the use of dogs for military purposes. Even though it had utilized a few dogs in minor roles earlier, it was not until World War II that they were used to any significant extent as auxiliaries to our fighting men when trained for sentry, messenger, scout, sled and pack duties. However the use of dogs for such purposes was by no means new to the world.

The extraordinary characteristics of the dog – acuteness of his senses, his docility, his affection for man, his watchfulness, and his speed enable him to be of great value for military purposes.

Honor our canine heroes with this War Dogs t-shirt. Soft style cotton in navy. Available in youth sizes 2 - 16.
