EOUR of the newest recruits in
Il Canada's Army are youngsters
of Is to Is months, averaging about
IS pounds in weight and from two
feet to Is inches in height, answer
ing to the names of Privates Buster,
Ping, Rex and Postum. Altogether
they form a sort of canine United
Nations. Rex is an even mixture of
husky and collie Buster is half
Labrador retriever and half airdale;
Ping is so per cent collie and so per
cent chow. Postum, who looks like
an alsatian, claims that his place in
DOgdom's nationality Is a military
secret.
J Training for guard duty with the
Army, the four dogs are undergo
ing four.weeks' course in canine
commando tactics. They are learn.
jng to be suspicious of everyone ex-
eept their keepers, four members Of
the R.C.O.C. Pie E. NJ Brenan of
Ottawa has teamed up with Rex:
Pte. A. Dennis of New Brunswick
with Buster; Pte. T. w. Jones of
Winnipeg with Ping; and Pie. ]. G..
Mcintyre of New Brunswick with
Postum.
The dogs are learning to attack
Nogales international., 1943-09-24

an intruder by seizing his arm and
pulling him down. An instructor
wears heavy two-inch-thick pad
from his shoulder to his finger tips
for the job. When he approaches,
the dogs are supposed to leap upon
him and get a good hold on the pad
ding. They all respond in the ap-
proved manner except Buster, who
fakes bite at the padding and then
tries to sink his teeth into the in
structor's ankles. According to the
trainer it's a neat trick that Buster
himself developed--but it's a little
tough on the instructor.
Meals for the dogs consist of
pounds Of cooked meat for every Is
pounds they weigh. They are given
one serving day. They are fed,
groomed and taken on their patrols
by only one man. The presence of a
second person anywhere within their
sight will meet with a hot reception.
