Chips raided a sniper nest in Sicily and was supposed to get two medals.
Smoky was a Yorkie who dragged a telecommunications cable through a 60-foot tunnel.
Nemo protected his handler with his own wounded body till they were both rescued (and made full recoveries).
Those are just three of the heroes whose photos you'll see in this great article forwarded to me by Museum friend Krista J. Be sure and clink the link at the bottom for another well-illustrated article on dog soldiers.
