I posted this, with another link, already on the Community Hall forum:

but thought I'd post it here as well since it can be easy to miss stuff there. An interesting story about Voytek a bear in WWII. The other story is about Sgt. Stubby, a dog in WWI. The author's writing style can be rather colorful and numerous expletives so be advised.

Here's a direct link to the article:
