I thought so too.
That picture so emotional; you can see the connection.
They had an episode of Pet Heroes (on Canadian Discovery Channel)—in WWII, there was a dog who was adopted by a contingent of soldiers; he quickly learned what grenades were—watching the men throw them as far away as possible (when the grenades were thrown at them).
During one firefight, the soldiers were injured and another grenade was thrown at them. But they were incapacitated and couldn’t reach it.
So the dog—I think his name was Boomer?—grabbed the grenade in his mouth and ran as far away as he could before it exploded.
He received a post-humous (hope I spelled that right) award from the military.
Dogs must bring the troops great comfort.
