Talk:Chips (dog)

Surrender

Please elaborate on how exactly a dog forces a pillbox crew of four, italians or not, to surrender. The wording seems to state that Chips performed this assault single-handedly .. well, single-pawedly, anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muad (talk • contribs) 13:00, 10 October 2006

Medals

Chips may have been allowed to keep his medals, although our article says differently. See [1] and [2]. The US still has no official medals for dogs, but one organisation has set up a medal system.[3]. Dougweller (talk) 15:03, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
