At first, more than 30 breeds were accepted, but by 1944, the list of preferred breeds was shortened to five: German Shepherds, Doberman Pinschers, Belgian Sheepdogs, Giant Schnauzers and short-coated Collies.May 23, 2014 mvannest2020 https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311415055 2018-12-05 15:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311415055 However, animals remained a crucial part of the war effort. Horses, donkeys, mules and camels carried food, water, ammunition and medical supplies to men at the front, and dogs and pigeons carried messages. Canaries were used to detect poisonous gas, and cats and dogs were trained to hunt rats in the trenches. mvannest2020 https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311415347 2018-12-05 15:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311415347 Image result for how many animals died in the warThese animals were chosen for a variety of their natural instincts and vast numbers were killed, often suffering agonising deaths from wounds, starvation, thirst, exhaustion, disease and exposure. Eight million horses and countless mules and donkeys died in the First World War. mvannest2020 https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311416104 2018-12-05 15:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311416104 mvannest2020 https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311416464 2018-12-05 15:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311416464 In past conflicts, horses, elephants, and camels hauled men and supplies; pigeons carried messages; dogs tracked enemies and protected troops. Their efforts helped to turn battles—and the fortunes of many a combat soldier. Carrying on this tradition, U.S. forces employed thousands of animals during World War II. mvannest2020 https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311417882 2018-12-05 15:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/311417882 mvannest2020 https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/312260231 It has been estimated that one million dogs died during the First World War.]]> 2018-12-07 15:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/312260231 The Second World War saw 7,000 dogs save countless lives mvannest2020 https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/312260450 2018-12-07 15:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/312260450 Up to 20,000 dogs were trained for front-line duties during World War One mvannest2020 https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/312260658 2018-12-07 15:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannest2020/twksa1zr6nhy/wish/312260658 Dogs were some of the hardest and most trusted workers in World War One.
