Dogs served a huge role during WWI and saved countless lives. When the war ended though, there were hundreds of canines with uncertain futures. This image highlights this problem and shows some of the dogs with the generals who trained the. One dog, Rin Tin Tin, would become an entertainment icon while others were lost to history. An important image of underappreciated heroes from the first World War. Issued by the Press Illustrating Service and stamped on the back with a long paper caption as well.
