Freedom Calling - Is Your Dog Loyal? - Dogs of the Civil War
Is Your Dog Loyal?
I'll bet he or she would follow you anywhere, right?
I thought so! Mine, too. He's my best friend, best buddy; knows what I'm thinking before I even think it!
That isn't just the case with our dogs, but dogs in the 19th century were like that, too! In fact, a lot of them followed their owners right into battle without a second thought! There was Harvey from Ohio, and Major from Maine, and Sallie from Pennsylvania. There were so many dogs in the 104th Ohio Volunteer Infantry that it was known as the Barking Dog Regiment! And you probably knew General Lee's horse was named Traveler, but did you know President Jefferson Davis' dog was also named Traveler?
Check out the dogs that fought alongside their owners in the Civil War!
