Hey, uh, hey, uh isn't what is Lynch doing? He's acting. He's kind of pointing towards the door for some reason, I don't know. Have you been feeding him treats lately? Any weird ones, bro?
Speaker 1:
He's just um. The mailman brought him some giant thing that looks like it's coated peanut butter.
Speaker 2:
I don't know. It's like he's telling us something. Oh my god, dude, I see those people there. I think they're gonna come and ask you if your shop sells locus. Okay, he's just letting you know that there's some folks like that coming in, bro. All right, dogs can be good at sensing things, you know, like air strikes, I don't know. Pretty interesting. They could be heroes. That's kind of a hero.
Speaker 1:
It's their hero by your dog.
Speaker 2:
They're lynch and or the land seal Goots, all these things.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, cow chippo, cow cow. Yeah, boogie many, he goes by many names.
Speaker 2:
Dogs are very lovable man. They. They really become a part of us in a part of the story. Humanity right, yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, every dog owner knows of the unbreakable bond between us humanoid's and our beloved canine compadres. They're unconditional love, and loyalty seems magnified during the most difficult of times. This was quite evident in the case of Judy, a liver and white English pointer. It's brown and light, but leave it to the British to make it sound weird right and her fellow human tow. That's right, judy is to this day the only canine ever registered as prisoner of war dang Judy Judy, judy, judy, judy yeah yeah yeah, that's funny, I love it.
Speaker 2:
Um, well, it's not funny that she was a POW. Hey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna butt in real quick on. I'm gonna give you origin of Judy Uh, originally named shooty. She was born in Shanghai, china, right, did you read that part of it? Okay, yes, okay, cool, well, the one thing that I had heard, and so I double-checked it. But apparently shooty was her real first name and then they anglicized it into Judy cuz the guys didn't understand it or whatever, but it was supposed they. Oh. Yeah, one thing I read said it meant peaceful. But here are the, the Mandarin things that shooty means one is cultivated land and the other shooty. That I found this pronounced the same in Chinese of sorts is to antagonize people or to make an enemy of. Yeah, wow, so that's what her original name was shooty. Hey, all right, that's my big, my big contribution.
Speaker 1:
I thought that she's weren't saying. I did not realize the name thing. That's awesome, hey Cool. Her stint in the Royal Navy began when she's a gift to the crew of HMS Matt and served as the ship's mascot. She spent time on the Nats sister River gun boat, hms grasshopper, and survived enemy assault on each ship. Judy and surviving members of the crew, the HMS grasshopper, were captured in the human jungles of Sumatra. Conditions were brutal for the men and dog alike, with very little rations and fear that the Japanese guards would discover Judy, said. Soldiers now not only considered to be a mascot but referred to her as the guardian angel, as she had sniffed out a Natural spring on the island that before she was banned in the HMS grasshopper on saving all of their lives, damn. So they swore to protect her. You know, because she wasn't. She wasn't just Rubberman distract them from the horrors of war and whether she kept them alive, right Well yeah, yeah, they're like maroon, you know, in a way.
Speaker 2:
And just these islands, this is like little islands in the ocean, people. So fresh water is hard to come by, like you have to know, the area is to survive it. So good job, judy. That's all I know. Anyway, yeah, what have you done lately? Bugs? Oh, let's not put lenge in the hole. Does not throw them under the bus, all right, anyway.
Speaker 1:
When the prisoners were transferred from a camp at Rengal Rengal to camp in Medin, they had Judy under bags of rice to ensure she wasn't detected by the detects, by the guards. The six months of struggling to find food and water taken a lot out of her and she as well as a man remaciated and Judy's ripped Shove through her skin. Yeah but despite the basically unlivable conditions, to get their spirits up, it's very mendifined through their dire circumstances, along with her, yeah and well beloved by all those unfortunate enough to be admitted and to you, would meet your individual human there as well.
Speaker 1:
One day, leading aircraftsman Frank Williams spotted Judy and held out as rational Bryce offering a tour. From that moment on the tour, and separable Still an ally to all the prisoners, judy would intervene anytime the men are being beaten to growl and nip at the guard's heels and they're growing more and more hostile towards the Royal English Pointer. At this point Frank realized he had to figure out a way to protect their from harm at the hands of the guards. Yeah, no, banner was the commandant of the camp and was known to fairly enjoyable foods and females. Williams time to request. Have Judy registered as a POW by Bano while the Colonel was enjoying a few glasses of sock?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I got him got a gawk. You got him drunk Good.
Speaker 1:
They talked yeah. Then he also told Bano that if you get puppies, you would provide one for banners. Mistress, oh, wow, okay. And so she was officially registered as POW 81, a Glowger I'm not sure I'm saying all right, met him and so it's a, yeah, official. She's still the only one ever to be registered, a dog registered at a BFW. Yeah. So that meant like they couldn't kill her, basically without it's going to Geneva.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, yeah well, what it was, is, is, is, is once she was registered as a POW, then they could be tried for war crimes, for Right.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, that's a big thing. You know us now with our cell phones and all our fancy stuff. We kind of don't recognize the fact that this technology wasn't always available. We'll just see where shit was or how flights are coming in, all these things that they track, and what Judy would do Actually would. She could hear the Japanese airstrikes and their planes coming in up to like 20 to 30 minutes before they would even reach the ship, and they were a lot. They could prepare for it. Wow, yeah, there's a lot of stories.
Speaker 2:
Judy did a lot more than like just whatever. Just there was stories where when they were actually trying to Kill her before the whole POW thing and they were like moving camps and whatnot, how he he would train, he trained her with a low whistle where, like so basically Judy would be up in a dog, up in the guards face and as soon as the guard would be like really hostile. The story goes from another POW that I read something on is that he would like snap his fingers and she would just take off and they would look for her and they could not find her and as soon as, like everything was like clear or whatever, they said that he would make this low whistling sound. That was kind of unique and shit. She would just pop out of nowhere and she'd have like rats and Snakes and stuff and whatever and she would help feed them as well in these camps, like she would bring him dead animals.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I thought dead monkeys Go, judy, you know, yeah, my dog once stole his own bacon. Oh, I seriously got a piece of bacon for him from like a fancy there's like a $2 slice of bacon and it was for him. But he didn't know that. And I stopped at the gas station and got back in and he had eaten through the container. And yeah, so right, judy's Little more life skills than my beloved dog, but oh man love him nonetheless.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, um, do you have other stories on Judy or what you got going on?
Speaker 1:
Yeah, her safety is again of great concern to all the men. When Banno was transferred out into 1944 that was an attempt to niche into that in Niche was extremely cruel. Even by prison camp commander standards that's pretty rough. And he hated dogs. Oh, I can't in this kid's Cheerio you know, he was young, or they should yeah, what a mess.
Speaker 1:
But he specifically instructed that the men were to be moved from the camp while Judy was to remain behind. Franking company never thought of leaving her. Doing almost certainly violent and Using hand commands and low whistles as you said, he turned it a load up on the Dutch merchant steamship, the SS band Warwick. I don't wish to know which chance it's. He was again hidden in rice sacs and would remain perfectly still and silent, even when the guards forced him to stand on parade for hours on the salt tree heat. The Japanese guards were clueless to the fact that Judy was slung over Frank's shoulder in a sack the entire time. On June 26, 1944, when we one day ended the voyage, the ship was struck by a torpedo. In the ensuing chaos, williams managed to push Judy through a 10-inch portal into the ocean. Once, frank escaped into the sea and spent hours searching for her to the tail.
Speaker 2:
What a chaotic scene. I imagine being on a ship getting hit by a fucking torpedo guys Can you imagine? And then you have the wherewithal there's probably injured people all around, and then you're a prisoner and all these things, and you have the wherewithal to grab the dog and shove it through a porthole. Frank, you deserve a medal.
Speaker 1:
He did. He looked for hours and hours and couldn't find her and just hoped with all his heart he wouldn't lose his beloved canine friend as he lost many human ones. When he arrived at River Valley Camp in Singapore, Frank was struck in the back by something, all of a sudden, Coated in oil and with her eyes burning red. Judy and Frank reunited and there was quite the emotional scene. He was told how Judy brought in many men ashore by letting them hold onto her as she swam. As one was brought to safety, she would return to rescue them next.
Speaker 2:
So yeah, Judy's got all our dogs beat. Yeah, benson, don't do shit, douglas, don't do shit. Hey, people, if your dogs have ever done anything to the Judy level, I want to hear about it for sure. Hey, absolutely I did. I did actually. I know this is like a thing or whatever that you got going there with her, saving lives and all, and it made me kind of think that you know, judy, I never heard of this before. He brought it up for one, for two.
Speaker 2:
Like there's some other military dogs that I feel have earned some accolades, and I just think they need an honorable mention within the midst of the dude stir. So you know, whatever, just casual. So we all know who. I think. Well, most of us know who Sergeant Stubby is by now, because it became kind of more available knowledge in America, like he's our frickin dog, that's, like you know, got like a rank and all these things. Never POW, though, and I don't know if Stubby's accolades are, they're pretty close, because I remember in the story he's a pit bull, mind you, and he basically in World War I I think he was warning allies against gas attacks and stuff.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, Buster gas is still.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so that's pretty badass. He peculiarly grew some way to go, yeah Right.
Speaker 1:
And he was like, oh he uh, drug a German soldier by the seat of his pants, away from him, Um, and it was also like alert them to stuff that was going on, you know, before humans could have any hope of detecting. You know something that's up on the left and he's in the Smithsonian oh my God, decorated war dog that I know of us anyway.
Speaker 2:
Him and Bob Ross, both in the Smithsonian. He, uh, bob Ross, sorry, he was actually made a joke a long time ago where somebody was talking about his art and its value and he's like, well, it probably most likely won't ever be in the Smithsonian, and now there's like three of his originals that hang in there. So, anyway, salute to you, sergeant Stubby. And he went ahead of a guy. He had his own custom gas mask, I seen it one point. And um, stubby met three presidents Woodrow Wilson, warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. All pieces of shit, um, but nonetheless, stubby Stubby met them. Uh, so that was one you know.
Speaker 2:
And um, that's not the only only dog of war that I want to talk about today. Just because you know why, the heck not? We're going to give another one a nod real quick and then we'll be. We'll get back to Judy, all right? Um, our next one is Smokey. This little hero proves that size does not matter when it comes to serving your country and saving lives. Smokey, a four pound Yorkshire Terrier, was found in the jungle of New Guinea and purchased by American soldier Bill Wynne Wynne, I don't know, I don't know why, I don't know why. And then E during World War two. Smokey earned honors for bravery after she warned Wynne of incoming fire on a transport ship, and a pretty cute little dog. So this is a jungle dog. I don't know how Yorkshire Terriers out there, but that's pretty badass. Uh didn't or uh didn't earn any accolades, I don't believe. Just uh. The fact that this dog did that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2:
Um, there's another one I want to mention. Last one, another, uh, world War something near other dog, world War one. This one is named rags rags. From rags to this article. Another amazing World War one hero dog was rags rags, a Karen terrier mix. C A I R N, my friend, that's the one thing I was, anyway. So rags, a terrier mix, was found by private James Donovan in Paris. Donovan returned to his division with rags and the pup soon became a carrier dog delivering messages over dangerous battlefields to allied troops. Rags and Donovan were seriously hurt in a gas attack. Could have used stubby there. Donovan died from the complications. Damn, but rags made a full recovery and became a celebrity around the country. Rags made the rank of lieutenant colonel and when he died rags was buried with military honors. So there you go, Slew to you too, rags, rags riches on that one. Now I feel like we should get back up into the Judy.
Speaker 1:
My friend. Okay, so yeah, she. As they were moved from camp to camp, she would stay, stay and live right outside of it and then Frank would use, if it seems safe, a night'll low whisper so she could enter the camp and get off and bring treats such as dead monkeys and even a shin moan of an elephant one. What, yeah, go Judy. She was an inspiration to all, and the prisoners referred to her as Old Girl. They would say if Old Girl can hang on for release, then we can too.
Speaker 1:
Right as victory over Japan has achieved, frank, judy and the other former prisoners made it to Singapore hospital to start the longer recovery process. The adversity is not over, though. As they boarded the ship bound for Liverpool, a sign placed by authorities red no animals allowed. Once again, none of the men were going to abandon their friend and hero, judy, to many other lives. Right For the first three days, using commands and distractions and hiding underneath where they was bunked, judy was kept secret. By this point they were in open water and Judy made fast threads with all those aboard the ship.
Speaker 1:
Best of all for the furry war hero, the cook was a dog lover and the galley became her favorite spot on the vessel, though she had the universal support of all the crew and former prisoners, frank and the Williams was having to face the possibility that Judy might not be allowed entry to Liverpool when they arrived, damn. Other men started to work on a plot to subvert the authorities. Luckily, one of Frank's colleagues used connections he had to family to pull some string and needed to guarantee Judy's freedom. Sadly, quarantine officials kept her in a kennel and Frank wasn't allowed this year for a whole week and she refused to eat. Oh wow, over the six month quarantine period Frank would get to visit once a week and she began to eat. When it was time for Judy to come home, the world's media was eager to tell the heroic canine story. In May 1946, she was awarded the PDSA, dick and Metal, the Animal Version of Victoria's Cross. Wow, june 8th 1946, say one year before mom was born.
Speaker 1:
There, you go BBC broadcast Judy's Barg Worldwide as part of Victory Day Celebration, being the first becoming the first dog to have a bark broadcast.
Speaker 2:
Oh my God, I freaking read that. I thought that was pretty cool. I was like whoa Judy yeah, that's super cool. Who the fuck Judy's like? The William Shatner dogs, just always up in the mix of something you know? Reference to the Michael Myers mask. I'm sorry, anyway.
Speaker 1:
She and Frank attended many charitable events for animals and children and even helped comfort those who had lost loved ones in the camps by visiting them and telling them Judy's story. In 1948, frank and Judy moved to East Africa, in what is present day Tanzania. They adapted to freedom in the jungle this go around and Judy seemed to take to it protecting Frank from snakes and other dangerous wildlife. She would run off monkeys and baboons.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, babbage, like baboons are rugged, yeah yeah, they fucking back that ass up on Judy and she's like oh hell, no, get your weird baboon butt away from me Anyway.
Speaker 1:
They love their time together, as always. But this is a far better existence than struggling to survive in a prison camp Right. But eventually Judy went missing and with the help of a large search team she was found nine days later in a hut being cared for by villagers. Sadly, judy became very sick in February 17th 1950. With the heaviest of hearts, frank had to end her suffering by having a painlessly put to sleep. His beloved, devoted friend was laid to rest as the hero she was and it gave to complete with a brass plaque detailing her integral part and Frank Williams and many others' survival Ratswell old girl.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, there was a man. She was actually pretty fucking important at all those troops. There was another. There's a memoir of a soldier that was just a brief journal entry that I found and it mentions Judy. Like real quick, you know, and it was basically to the effect of like most of us haven't seen her, but even just knowing that she exists is like cool, you know, it would boost their how they thought about their situation, just this dog.
Speaker 2:
On the back note of that, I wanted to give you some you know, just some background on a pointer. You know this English pointer. They are a highly regarded breed of sporting dog, hound, spandulon setter ancestry. The pointer derives its name from its assumption of a rigid posture in the direction of the quarry it is located. They were first recorded in 1615, england, so a pretty old dog breed. They were originally also used to track down hares for gray hounds kind of deal. So and then once the pointer would spook the hare, the gray hound would chase it down. Oh, okay, yeah, so there's some background on that. Sucka motherfucker, right, let's keep gangster on. Sorry about that, I don't know why. I got all weird real quick there. Maybe it's just a good day, maybe it's just a nice day to tell stories. You know, I wonder if Judy would have liked.
Speaker 1:
Mr Belvedere.
Speaker 2:
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1:
Is there Judy in?
Speaker 2:
that show Judy's previous resident here. Oh, okay, hey, you know she also. All right, she had also warned them against pirates as well. I read and then I forget where they were. Think about this it's like World War II and you're dealing with, like Samatran, pirates as well and like all this. What a fuck that Go Judy. Judy's a gangster man, pretty cool.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I mean then, you know, getting a dog after that. It'd be kind of like the where the governor of the universe's little brother works at the ball, you know, counts beans for a living. Judy saved countless lives and kept our spirits up during a prison camp like you. Shit on the rug. My dog pissed on the carpet, yeah yeah, I know right, mine's good, but I'm still in at least six chocolate croissants. Oh wow. Yeah, that's real chocolate man bitches. So luckily you didn't get sick.
Speaker 2:
Real chocolate, real talk Indeed. Hey, you know all this, Judy talk.
Speaker 2:
No funk the funk on either. No funk fakin'. No way, it's just dogs eatin' and stealin' bacon for real. Hey, you know, I was thinkin' about other dogs and there was one that I had seen and it was worth a mention, just because I like to mention Canada these days and just you know, whatever, there's not a lot of info on this and or I didn't put much time into it. Shh Anyway, gander was a Canadian dog. I mean, I didn't put much time into this dog, the breed, unknown, so secretive Canadian dog. All it has here is it was a Canadian army dog.
Speaker 2:
The act of heroism, carried away a live grenade and saved a squad of soldiers at the cost of his own life. Aw Damn, dude Go Gander. Salute to you, gander. On this month that holds Veterans Day in the US, I'd say here. So salute to you, gander. I didn't even know that. I didn't think of that at all until now. I'm sitting here recording this episode on Veterans Day and just thankful for all the real deal soldiers out there that got good hearts and are out there tryin' to do the right thing.
Speaker 1:
Right, yeah, much love and respect to anybody that serves all the men and women.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so that's good so we can say here and do stuff like this Correct and talk about the last dog that I found that I was kinda saving towards the end, and it's mainly because of the name, right, and it's the oldest dog I found on record for being in military service of sorts, and it's number eight on a list of great dogs, by the way, so it must be up there, the dog's name, mustache.
Speaker 2:
All right, one of the strangest additions to our list is that of Mustache, a black poodle in the French army. Go fucking figure, a mustachioed mustache dog, and it's a fucking poodle. While parts of his story are believed to be fictitious, his most heroic moments occurred at the Battle of Austrolits In 1805, mustache detected and cornered an Austrian spy, then carried back to French flight to camp after losing a leg. Mustache received a medal for his amazing bravery. So those are the things. So he kinda didn't break it down very great guys, and it did say some of his fictitious, but apparently there was a dog named Mustache and that's what the French army rallied around back in the day in 1805.
Speaker 1:
Dang yeah.
Speaker 2:
Is that like Napoleon times, right? That's kinda what I was just gonna guess. I'm not, you know, as much history crap as I know. I like really don't know a ton about Napoleon and I actually have kind of avoided some parts of Rome just because it's so available, I feel, and I'm like that it's also by like underground music, I feel, you know, and it's one of those deals where like I don't know what story I'm getting anyway, you know we're so close to the history of it. It's kinda like now, when we look back at like the Saxon Chronicles and shit, we can sift through the crap and be like, well, these guys are obviously lying just to boost their egos, you know Sort of things, and kinda pick it apart. But Nonetheless, Judy, salute to Judy. That's how I salute the evening, I feel.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it's good to everybody's dogs. Yeah, everybody's dogs, seriously is the best dog, oh really.
Speaker 2:
Because I think, ben Bansin, I have a Yorkshire Terrier, I've seen Yorkshire Terriers on that list. I've got a Pitbulls in Yorkshire Terriers and yeah, all sorts of fun shit. Poodles, german Shepherds, dobermans kind of shocked me that we used Dobermans in World War II like we did. That was amazing. Actually, the Devil Dogs, right? Yeah, yeah, we might have. Yeah, they're super loyal. Yeah, we might have to. They're one person dogs.
Speaker 2:
I always felt yeah they're pits are friends with the whole universe. I know the most hated dog is like the Friendly yeah mine seriously gets upset if you kill a fly.
Speaker 1:
He's like the Gandhi of Pitbulls.
Speaker 2:
Well, it tries to lick its face Excellent, yeah, that's a. I don't know, it is a thing I've never had. A I mean any dog in a pack that doesn't have like any structure is dangerous, so that's, I think, absolutely yeah, and that's usually what happens with Pitbulls is the shitty people own them and they let them into groups and then they're out running a muck and you know it's bad, or somebody they don't know is in their house, and I always read these attacks and almost always there's more than one Pitbull in the house. Yeah, and pack mentality, man, they don't know you really. That's the thing. So turkeys have, pretty have, what they call a pecking order, which we might touch on in a future episode here at Phil Um, job turkeys, yeah, job turkeys. Hey guys, while we're talking about future things, why don't we talk about some present day stuff like I tell stories and the website that me and Owen own and basically pitlocksupplycom? Here you can go get you some cool I tell stories shirts. You know we got some good stuff up there.
Speaker 2:
Support the show, guys, let's get a crack and subscribe. You know you might catch some free stuff. I've talked about that before. We don't want to like start reading ads for mattress ferment audible, but it may become a thing we're, we're, we're, we're at that level. We just, you know, we'd rather get some subscriptions, okay. So Timmy's corn dog stand, yeah. Or if you, you know, seriously too, don't be scared to like if you got a business and you're like, hey, maybe, uh, I can't do anything, I can't advertise too fucking much All these things. Well, pitch your idea to us. You never know, we'll throw it in, you know, for a little bit or something. Who knows, we'll work with your budget, your budget friendly, um, podcasters, I don't know.
Speaker 1:
Definitely budget yeah.
Speaker 2:
Not the weed, though. No, yeah, no, pretty great stuff, man. Um, I uh, I don't know. I just like talking about dogs. You know there was a dog in Vietnam. His name was Nemo. Right, he's not the only dog in Vietnam, mind you, but uh, um, one in particular, though, was Nemo the German shepherd. Um, he was paired with an airman second class, Robert Thornberg, on December 3rd 1966. While on patrol, thornberg was shot in the shoulder and Nemo was shot in the muzzle. Damn, that sucks for a dog. The bullet entered under Nemo's right eye and exited through his mouth. Nemo ignored the wound and heroically charged the poor gunman, allowing Thornberg time to call for reinforcements. Both men and dog were rushed to medical treatment. After the fact, nemo was sent back to the US for treatment, where he was able to live out the rest of his life as a hero.
Speaker 2:
So yeah shot out to you Nemo, and I lied Last slew to the evening. Nemo, also a great children's movie. Um, I love the turtle in their crush. Yeah, you'll have to watch that with Adam next time you come up here. Very good one, all right, yep. So any who? Um, what a fucking weird thing to say Any who. Do you have anything else? He's knitting a sweater. Yeah, maybe it's November, it's fall, you know? Nicole Crafts, okay, and also one of the kids, brie, which you had met. Um, she, uh, she's a heck of a knitter, she's she's a bit of an old soul.
Speaker 2:
She likes old vintage things and knits and does artsy crafts.
Speaker 1:
She's a bit of a hippie, you know well, people are best off young at heart, with an old soul.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I feel bad with it. What a way to put that. Always words of wisdom from a a one, michael.
Speaker 1:
Marvin, oh, don't read so good.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, you're just fine. Um, anyway, uh, yeah, I think, uh, we should, did you. What do you take from this? I want to. What's the take on this juicester, the Judy?
Speaker 1:
Just again, the unbelievable bond between humans, and you know I think I've been through some stuff. I can't even sad them what this was like and this went on for a month. You know, over a year, over a couple of years really, that they kept each other going and just yeah, just how lucky humans are to have dogs with companions.
