She didn’t carry a weapon. She carried hope.
Judy was an English Pointer, born in Shanghai and raised aboard Royal Navy ships. She learned to navigate decks, sense storms, and bark at trouble long before war ever broke out. But nothing could have prepared her for what came next.
In 1942, her ship — HMS Grasshopper — was attacked and sunk by Japanese forces. Judy survived. She swam to shore alongside the crew, found freshwater in the jungle, and led them through enemy territory to safety.
But that was only the beginning.
Judy and the surviving crew were captured and sent to a Japanese POW camp. Life inside was brutal — hunger, disease, punishment. Yet Judy stayed with them. She became more than a mascot. She became a lifeline.
She barked warnings when guards approached. She shared scraps of food with prisoners. She chased off snakes and lifted spirits in a place where joy was nearly extinct.
Fearing she’d be k****d, the prisoners hid her identity until one of them, Leading Aircraftman Frank Williams, managed to get her officially registered as a fellow prisoner of war — the only dog to ever hold that status.
She survived the camp. She returned home. And she lived out her days peacefully in England, finally safe beside the man who had shared her sentence.
I remember Judy not because she knew what war was — but because she knew who her people were. And she stayed with them. Through hunger, fear, and barbed wire.
We haven’t forgotten you, Judy. And we never should.

Togo. Not the statue in Central Park. Not the name most people remember. But the dog who actually ran the farthest, braved the worst, and asked for nothing in return.
In 1925, a deadly outbreak threatened the children of Nome, Alaska. A relay of sled dogs carried the antitoxin across hundreds of frozen miles. Most know Balto. But Togo led the longest and most dangerous stretch — 260 miles through blizzards, cracking ice, and black Arctic night.
He was 12 years old. Too old, they said. Too small. Too spirited. But he didn’t flinch. He crossed the Norton Sound as the ice split beneath him. He slept little. He kept going.
When it was over, others met the cameras. Togo returned quietly with his musher, Leonhard Seppala. No medals. No parade. Just the satisfaction of having made it home.
Togo didn’t run for glory. He ran because he trusted. Because he knew the way — and chose to go farther.
I remember him because the world doesn’t always reward the right one. And because some heroes never ask to be seen.
We haven’t forgotten you, Togo. And we never should.

Eric is excellent at what he does! Whether you have a new puppy and you want to start on the right foot or you have a seasoned pet that has issues with aggression or anxiety, Eric gets results. And he just released a series of training videos. Go check them out! A more affordable way to access top quality dog training.

The online course is officially live.

Structured Dog Training: Door Control & Leash Walking is built for dog owners who want better control in two places where problems show up constantly at the door and on the leash.

I walk you through the same structured approach I use in my in-home training, including proper prong collar fit and introduction, door control, leash handling, positioning, and clear communication.

This isn't a quick-fix course. You still have to put in the work and follow through.

Online access — $297

On the morning of Tuesday, September 11, Michael Hingson, a sales director who had been blind since birth, arrived at his office on the 78th floor of Tower One at the World Trade Center. His guide dog, Roselle, took her usual spot under his desk. At 8:45 a.m., a hijacked plane struck the tower just 18 floors above them.
After calling his wife and ensuring his team had evacuated, Hingson began the long descent down 78 flights of stairs with Roselle. Navigating through smoke, debris, and crowds of people, they reached the lobby. As they got outside, Tower Two had already been hit and was collapsing. “It sounded like a metal and concrete waterfall,” Hingson recalled. They took cover in a subway entrance and later resurfaced as Tower One came down. Roselle then guided Hingson nearly 40 blocks to a friend’s apartment, bringing him to safety.
