Newest member of the Frontier Guard family...

Some of the references to the Frontier Guard mention the use of dogs in the forts and on patrols.  There are no specifics that I’ve read, but presumably they were used as trackers or to give alarms.

Recently, our family Labrador passed away suddenly at age 10, and as we are definitely a dog family, I wanted briefly to introduce the newest member of our family....

 

I rarely post pictures of this type, as they aren’t specifically history-related, but in this case, I’ll make an exception.
