When we think of war dogs, we think of German Shepherd Dogs, Belgian Malinois, and other imposing breeds. But one of the heroes of World War II was Smoky, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier. American soldiers found Smoky in a New Guinea foxhole and she became the full-time companion of Corporal Bill Wynne. She ate what he ate and slept where he slept. More than that, Smoky flew rescue and reconnaissance missions and even barked to warn Corporal Wynne of incoming shells.
Being a typical Yorkie, Smoky was adept at learning tricks and worked with Special Services to entertain soldiers in field hospitals. She continued to do so back in the U.S., having been sequestered in an oxygen mask case for the flight home. Smoky appeared on television and made public appearances while continuing to comfort soldiers in veterans’ hospitals. In fact, because of her work with vets, Smoky is considered by some to be America’s first therapy dog. There are memorials to her across the country and in Australia, including at the AKC Museum of the Dog in New York City.
