139: Yorkie Doodle Dandy [Man's Best Friend pt.1: Smoky the War Dog]

Call him Smoky the bandit because he is going to steal your heart. When Bill Wynne was fighting for the US in the Pacific during World War 2 he was prepared for whatever the enemy might throw at him, he did not expect a tiny Yorkshire Terrier named Smoky. Bill and Smoky were inseparable and (obviously) popular. What started as an unlikely meeting in the least hospitable of places quickly turned into magic. As Smoky raised spirits across the allied lines he became recognized as "one of the first therapy dogs" for his adorable face and impressive tricks. He was a good dog, a friend to all, and Man's Best Friend. He was Smoky the War Dog. 00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:30:05 Yorkie Doodle Dandy 00:36:27 Bill Wynne 00:57:31 YANK Down Under 01:04:52 Yorkshire Terriers 01:11:59 Shenanigans 01:25:23 Running the Wire 01:30:51 Therapizing 01:36:27 Ending the War 01:42:44 After the War 01:50:33 Legacy Connect with Us Website: wellilaughed.com Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/WellILaughed...
