This is INCREDIBLE - and honestly, I'd never thought much about the role of dogs & cats in the war, much less the impact of rationing on them. Thank you for illuminating this!! The training for all the donated dogs must have been out of this world.

What a fun article! I never gave much thought to what our furry friends would have eaten back in the days of rationing. Bravo 👏

Love this so much. I too would share my meat ration with my spicy ginger cat, Marmalade and my ever-faithful black lab Licorice!

Aww, I love the names of your pets! I think most animal lovers would feel the same in sharing their meat ration! ☺️
