"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Mahatma Gandhi
And he was right.

Nice story. Sadly they went on fighting.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I was truly impressed with this, even if it was a commercial. It really shows what this country was once made of.

CJ Kennedy said...

An uplifting way to start the week.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Wow, what an amazing story. Something about animals. Like the moment in War Horse where both sides went out to free the horse.

Birgit said...

I love this story because this is at a time when animals were not treated n the same level they are today. It does show what a gentleman Washington was.

Pat Hatt said...

Animals sure can bring sides together then they just go back to fighting though.

Jeanie said...

I did not know! Great story!

Jamie Ghione said...

Sandra Cox said...

All I could think about during this was that Washington named a longcat after Hamilton. haha

What a great tail

Sandra Cox said...

They do bring out the protective nature in a lot of folks don't they?

Sandra Cox said...

I agree, Birgit. Washington was certainly a gentleman and honorable man.

Sandra Cox said...

Sigh. We just don't seem to learn do we?

Sandra Cox said...

I didn't know it either till my brother forwarded this to me.

Sandra Cox said...

A little piece of history I wasn't familiar with.

Sandra Cox said...

My pleasure, Barbara.
You have a happy week too:)

Sandra Cox said...

I love that you take the time to show us these stories we may not see otherwise. Very special and important! Hugs...

Stephanie Faris said...

Aww. So heartwarming! I love the videos dog food companies are doing now. They're realizing that going viral with a doggy video people will eagerly share goes MUCH farther than a traditional commercial.

JFM said...

Absolutely touches the heart Sandra...loved it!!! After all...dogs are people, too 🐕🐩
