As man’s best friend, dogs have been at our side through important moments in history. Today, I came across this photo in a collection of photos from scrap metal drives held during World War II.
America needed raw materials for the war; a single tank weighed 18 tons.
Scrap metal drives were a way for the community to get behind the war effort, often competing with one another to see who could collect the most metals.
And of course dogs helped…
