When animals were on our side

We try not to think about it, but there was a time when mankind was not at war with animals, or rather, the animals were not at war with mankind.

It was the early 1940s, and Nazi Germany was working on taking over Europe. In Nazi-friendly Finland, a dog named Jackie became somewhat famous for the way it would raise its paw in a mock Nazi salute when its owner said the command “Hitler.” Recently uncovered records showed that the Germans knew about the dog and its owner, and had plans to put an end to the mockery–and their lives, but the war turned against them.

Then again, what if the dog was really a Nazi, maybe there never was any peace.
