Smoky the war dog 3 Attachment(s) Lost my place, but Whispersmom mentioned Smoky the war hero.......if you don't know the story, it is a very heartwarming true story of a yorkie who was in the war. Here are some photos I have. Well worth looking up!! |
Oh Thank you for posting this! I think this is just the cutest little girl! |
Smokey is also on Animal Planet and other animal related shows - it's so good to see shows and rememberance for such a brave yorkie. There are great articles if anyone just types Smokey war and yorkie - it's worth reading - thanks for reminding me of her |
Did you know that this article about Smokey is what started me thinking about getting a yorkie? I was with the kids at the pet store killing time while the were looking at everything in the store, when I found the magazine with this story about Smokey. |
Now, how great is that? I can't wait to look up Smokeys story! Windy and Lida Rose |
When I was 15 I saved my allowance and bought my first Yorkie. I named him Smoky after I had read so much about the hero Smoky. |

Thanks for the great photos. Smoky was a wonderfully brave Yorkies. One of a kind! A true King Terrier! |
That is too cute! Now I'm even MORE proud than I was before to own a yorkie. But I haven't read the story, what exactly did Smokey do in the war? Not that it matters because that dog is toooo adorable. But just curious. |
That is so awesome! I had never heard about Smoky before! This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Thanks so much for posting it! Smoky must have been a brave little Yorkie! |
I do believe his uniform is in a museum, right? I have not looked any of this up--just doing it from memory (Okay, Villette, don't you even go there!) so that last part could be incorrect..Also, I think that was the same uniform the Yorkie was modelling on a Yorkie calender last year.. |

You did, huh?? When you reach almost 68, you use all kinds of things to test your mental acuity..(Like using BIG words-LOL) That was my mental exercise for the day; maybe the week-end; aw, what the heck-maybe for the whole WEEK! |
What a beautiful dog!!! |
Here's a few more threads on Smoky. I believe Smoky's Dad came to YorkieTalk a while back even! :) http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ighlight=smoky http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ighlight=smoky http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ighlight=smoky |
