ANIMALS IN WAR

Roché Vermaak

Since time immemorial animals have been involved in war.

• Dogs marched beside soldiers as loyal companions, messengers, and silent guardians in the chaos of war.

• Horses carried riders, supplies, and hope across battlefields, often showing courage equal to any human.

• Messenger pigeons flew through smoke and gunfire, delivering vital notes that saved lives against all odds.
