8 Bravest Dogs in History

By Noel Kirkpatrick, MNN.com

We highlight some of the bravest dogs in history, from a black poodle who fought in the Napoleonic Wars to the most loyal of all dogs. Pictured is the famous statue in Edinburgh, Scotland, of Greyfriars Bobby, a terrier who guarded the grave of his owner for 14 years.

Unbelievable that these dogs are truly smarter, braver and finer than most humans. Especially Balto and Hachico; they always make me cry. Such wonderful, wonderful creatures. Thank you.
