Meet the dog who extinguished German bomb during Blitz by peeing on it

[Blackleaf]

A medal awarded to a dog who extinguished an incendiary bomb by urinating on it during the Blitz has been discovered in a house clearance.

Juliana the Great Dane leapt into action after the device fell through the roof of her owner’s house in 1941.

It is thought she put out the flame on the bomb by standing over it and emptying her bladder.

Three years later she alerted customers to a fire that was ripping through her owner’s shoe shop, earning her a second Blue Cross Medal.

The dog's fascinating story was only revealed when auctioneers conducted a house clearance at a property in Bristol and discovered the medal and a portrait of Juliana.

Vast areas of 16 British cities and many larger towns were destroyed during the Blitz from 7th September 1940 to 21st May 1941 when the British Empire was alone in taking on Nazi Germany, killing 43,000 civilians and injuring 139,000 more, but it was a German strategic defeat

do you think the dog had any understanding of the dangerous situations or was it just a dog being a dog?

You ungrateful slob Canada declared war with you we were in those cities and towns as were countless other bullet stoppers from the colonies. Next time expect no help whatever, you might even expect invasion by countless of your former slaves. That's why the world hates the brutish british. We should have ignored you both times in the past.
