My uncle who passed away in 2015 when he was 92 was in WWII. He never told me anything about it. About a year ago my cousin (his oldest son) told me that during the war my uncle had befriended a German Shepherd. The dog stayed by my uncles side. I don't know the details of who was around at the time but the Shepherd warned my uncle somehow of enemy danger. Because of this dog my uncle new to stay where he was, hiding and quiet. If it wasn't for the dog warning him he would have moved from where he was and lost his life.
When he went home he wanted to bring the dog and was told he had to leave the dog behind. Then he found out later that some of the soldiers did somehow bring the dogs they befriended home. He was disappointed to say the least when he found out.
