We have some friends whose Airedale ate multiple floppy disks, several pairs of panty hose, and a whole bar of Irish Spring. Too many trips to the vet.

I've lost several pairs of shoes of lots of razors to my Airedales. That said, more than worth the inconvenience.

Would refer you to Jack, an Airedale who won the Victoria Cross posthumously for gallantry in WWI.

Saved a battalion from destruction by carrying a message through one-half mile of swamp. The artillery barrage that surrounded him broke his jaw and shattered his foreleg. But he persevered, delivered his message to headquarters and then fell dead. The battalion was relieved, and Jack was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross for "Gallantry in the Field."

Enough said.

America's first war dog was Stubby, an American Pit Bull Terrier mix. He was also awarded honors for saving men during WWI.
