Bark Radio salutes military working dogs in this Memorial Day special edition. Have you heard of the war dog memorial at Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in New York? How about canine hero Sergeant Stubby? And then there is Silver Star and Purple Heart winner canine Chips. Chips’ original citation read: “For a special brand of courage, arising from love of master and duty. Chips’ courageous act, single-handedly eliminating a dangerous machine-gun nest, reflects the highest credit on himself and the military service.” Sadly, Chips was then stripped of his medals and ultimately died of his war injuries. Like so many before and after him, Chips gave his all.
