Lest we forget our Soldiers and our Dogs of War, both serving and returned.

More than 10,000 dogs were trained for World War 2, with most donated by families that loyally shipped their pets into service for their country.

However one of the most well known WW2 service dogs was Corporal Smoky - an itty bitty 1.8kg Yorkshire Terrier that was found in an abandoned fox hole in the Papua New Guinea jungle. Later Smoky was sold by her finder for about $6.50 in today's money so he could get back to a poker game. This is where her story really began:

During her service, Smoky slept in Wynne's (her soldiers') tent on a blanket made from a green felt card table cover and for the next 2 years, she back-packed with him through the rest of the war. She accompanied Wynne on combat flights in the Pacific and she saw many difficult circumstances whilst living in the New Guinea jungle and Rock Islands, with them both suffering the heat and humidity.

Unlike the "official" war dogs of World War II, Smoky had access to neither veterinary medicine nor a balanced diet formulated especially for dogs. Wynne shared his "C-Rations" with her and she got the occasional can of Spam. In spite of this, Smoky was never ill. She even ran on coral ground for four months without developing any of the paw ailments that plagued some war dogs.

Smoky spent long hours dangling in a soldier's pack near machine guns used to ward off enemy fighters. Smoky was credited with twelve combat missions and awarded eight battle stars. She survived 150 air raids on New Guinea and made it through a typhoon at Okinawa. Smoky even parachuted 9.1m out of a tree, using a parachute made just for her. Her soldier credited Smoky with saving his life by warning him of incoming shells from a transport ship, calling her an "angel from a foxhole." As the ship deck was booming and vibrating from anti-aircraft gunnery, Smoky guided Wynne to duck the fire that hit eight men standing next to them.

In the down time, Smoky learned numerous tricks, which she performed for the entertainment of troops with Special Services and in hospitals from Australia to Korea.

Smoky's tricks enabled her to assist in building an airbase at Lingayen Gulf, Luzon. Early in the campaign, the Signal Corps needed to run a telegraph wire through a 21m pipe that was 200 mm in diameter. Soil had sifted through the corrugated sections at the pipe joinings, filling as much as half of the pipe, giving Smoky only four inches of headway in some places, but by tying the cable to her collar, she was able to pull it through.

After the war, Smoky travelled the world with her soldier visiting hospitals, conducting interviews and attending memorials (of which she has at least 8 in her honour) - due to all of this, Smoky was regarded as the first recorded therapy dog. According to her soldier, Smoky taught him as much as he taught her.

After such a decorated life, Smokey passed away unexpectedly at the estimated age of 14 years old.

Get To Know Us .....
We are The Mini Katana Group
What is the Mini Katana Group you ask? Well it is basically a group of companies owned and run by the Thorondor family. It encompasses Excalibur Dehydrators Australia , Nature's Wonderland, Angel Juicers, Akela and Hydrogen Water, each company specialising in a specific product brand. The Mini Katana Group name is actually derived from the first two letters of the names of each member of the family - Mikayla, Nicholas, Katinka, Tamara and Natasha, which just so happens to form "Mini Katana", pretty cool right?
