WWI, French Messenger Dog, 1916

Dogs in warfare have a long history starting in ancient times. From war dogs trained in combat to their use as scouts, sentries and trackers, their uses have been varied and continue to exist in modern military usage. During WWI dogs were used by international forces to deliver vital messages. Thousands of dogs died in action. Dogs were often used to carry messages in battle. They would be turned loose to move silently to a second handler. This required a dog that was very loyal to two masters, otherwise the dog would not deliver the message on time, or at all. Some messenger dogs also performed other communication jobs, such as pulling telephone lines from one location to another. Search and rescue dogs were used to locate wounded soldiers as early as 1899, their use was not formally documented until WWI, when they served as military medic dogs on the battlefields to locate the wounded and deliver first aid supplies.

Título:
WWI, French Messenger Dog, 1916
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Los perros en la guerra tienen una larga historia que se remonta a la antigüedad. Desde perros de guerra entrenados en combate hasta su uso como exploradores, centinelas y rastreadores, sus usos han sido variados y continúan existiendo en el uso militar moderno. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, las fuerzas internacionales utilizaron perros para transmitir mensajes vitales. Miles de perros murieron en acción. Los perros se utilizaban a menudo para llevar mensajes en la batalla. Se les soltaría para que pasaran silenciosamente a un segundo cuidador. Esto requería un perro que fuera muy leal a dos amos; de lo contrario, el perro no entregaría el mensaje a tiempo o no lo entregaría en absoluto. Algunos perros mensajeros también realizaban otras tareas de comunicación, como tirar líneas telefónicas de un lugar a otro. Los perros de búsqueda y rescate se utilizaron para localizar a los soldados heridos ya en 1899; su uso no se documentó formalmente hasta la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando sirvieron como perros médicos militares en los campos de batalla para localizar a los heridos y entregar suministros de primeros auxilios.
