The First Dog Story of the War 
PIERROT: Dog of Belgium 
By WALTER A. DYER 
The simple story of what the war did to one Belgian dog. How Pierrot was 
taught to help draw a machine gun; how he fought, was wounded, and escaped; 
how he returned to those who loved him to comfort them in their misery — this 
is the intensely human little tale for everyone who loves dogs. 
W alter Prichard Eaton, A true dog lover says : 
“He certainly knows dogs. That scratching 
in the door, and the joyous bark of recognition, 
when poor Pierrot gets back to his family must 
make the heart of every dog lover pound. 
Some men are none too good to be soldiers, 
but every dog is too good.” 
44 Pierrot has 
been a good 
soldier,” said 
Gran’pere.
