Yorkshire terrier Rescue-Yorkie Talk

The Yorkshire terrier is quiet a dog. He has an attitude of a big dog and doesn’t fear much when it comes to other dogs. There is nothing like a good story about how a Yorkie is saved from cruelty, and nothing as sad as a story of a yorkie who is injured or dies from cruelty.

I think most all Yorkshire terriers’ owners treat their pets well, at least the ones I have met. But ever now and then we hear a sad story about how someone stole or mistreated a yorkie. Who would ever think someone could mistreat some so cute and small. But I guess there are those kind of people in the world.

I think I would like to bring an upbeat type story. This story has probably been around a while. But I think is is worth repeating.

We can talk about yorkie haircuts and look at yorkie pictures and even yorkie talk. But the story of Bill Wynne and Smoky just caught my eye. I wanted to say something about smoky here.

So read on.

The Poodle (and Dog) Blog: Yorkie Doodle Dandy—Yorkshire Terrier hero of WW II

You probably don’t think of a four pound Yorkshire Terrier as being a war dog. In fact some people don’t think of the Yorkie, the second most popular dog of 2007, as being anything more than a fashion accessory.

But Bill Wynne, a World War II veteran from Mansfield, Ohio, and his whole squadron would disagree with you.

Wynne, 85, flew more than a dozen missions in the South Pacific as a reconnaissance photographer flying over Japanese held territory. And Smoky was right there with him.

They found each other when Smoky crawled out of a foxhole in New Guinea. The sergeant who found her didn’t like dogs, so Wynne bought her for two Australian pounds, enough for the sergeant to get back into his poker game.
