Oh Yea.. That's what I thought...
Someone asked me about information concerning a Yorkshire Terrier, so I went looking.
I found Smokey World War II Hero Dog.. Really ????... I found the following.
On February 21, 1957, "Corporal" Smoky died unexpectedly at the approximate age of 14.
Wynne and his family buried Smoky in a WWII .30 Caliber Ammo Box in the Cleveland Metroparks, Rocky River Reservation in Lakewood, Ohio.
Nearly 50 years later, on Veterans Day, November 11, 2005, a bronze life-size sculpture of Smoky sitting in a GI helmet, atop a two-ton blue granite base, was unveiled there. It is placed above the very spot that Smoky was laid at her final resting place.
This very special monument is dedicated to “Smoky, the Yorkie Doodle Dandy, and the Dogs of All Wars"

What do you think, Jim B. Did you know this. Have you been to his grave site?
Looks like I have another place to go visit when I get to Ohio.
