(This is not a "Political" post, but rather an account of the deaths of a loyal service dog and his human handlers. It may be interpreted by the "Administrator" and others as "Un-American", but it is not politically tainted or motivated. Parallels to this story can be found in various military's throughout the world. )

 

In memory of “Lister” and friends killed in action while defending their homeland during 1999,

 

“Lister”, the German Shepherd, faithfully served the Yugoslav Army where he stood out from other dogs in his affection for his human comrades. He was able to discern between friend, foe and animals, ever alert and keeping his unit abreast of their surroundings. On one occasion in the dead of night, just as his unit was about to open fire at approaching footsteps, Lister didn't bark, signaling that it wasn't a person, keeping his unit concealed from the enemy. Lister then kept calm as a bear and her cubs emerged from the dark and passed near-by.

 

He wasn’t afraid of NATO bombs or combat where he successfully mauled several enemy soldiers to death before he fell in battle heroically on Easter Day – April 11, 1999 alongside his comrades. The first burst of machine gun fire silenced his handler, Sargent Vasojevic and Privates Predrag Bogosavljević, Milenko Božić and Darko Bjelobrk as they clashed with Islamic- Albanian militants and their NATO handlers. Lister's yelps could no longer be heard after the second burst. Before his death, Lister was awarded the rank of “Major” by his unit, part of a small Yugoslav force of 800 men, which continued to rebuff repeated assaults on their positions in the mountainous border in Kosare, Yugoslavia, by over 6,000 Islamists attacking from Albania and bolstered by US's "elite" Army Rangers and NATO's air power.

Steve showing 2 GSDs and that über sexy touring in the same picture and Slavs talking about the German Shepherd Dog as well.  The GSD is fully my favorite, right next to the Colorado Black Dog.  I'll see if I can find a relevant picture of him in the car.

Just the best dog ever. Mitsu, Black Lab Pit Bull mix.  Five years old.

I genuinely believe dogs to be the best invention ever, including being better than hot water.

No sheep, but I have a cat, a pool polaris, grandchildren, each other, wheel barrow, lawn equipment and a side by side.  All of which get herded from time to time, mostly the cat and pool polaris.

I added a bit of padding in the back seat, to make her more comfortable.
