so, i’m homeschooled and my mom decided that i didn’t have to do the rest of my history curriculum. but i have to do a research paper at least 5 pages long.
i chose the topic, “the usage of dogs in wwII”. and i’m not good at coming up with these kinds of ideas so if y’all have any points that i could put in there i would be very grateful 
Oh good luck!
According to google:
During World War II, dogs were extensively used by all major powers, primarily as scouts, messengers, guards, and for mine detection. The U.S. launched its war dog program in March 1942, training thousands of dogs donated by civilians to support troops in both European and Pacific theaters. Chips, a mixed-breed, was the most decorated U.S. war dog.
