Punkins Pitbull AmStaff Boston Terrier World War 1 Hero Army Veteran 1920's Real Photo Postcard

Dogs served a crucial role in the World's War, referring to World War I (1914-1918), where they were employed as messengers, sentries, scouts, mercy dogs for locating wounded soldiers, and loyal mascots boosting morale on the front lines. The designation Veteran of the World's War for Punkins suggests direct involvement in the conflict or served as a symbolic recognition of the significant contributions made by canines to the war effort. This postcard likely dates to the immediate aftermath of WWI, when public appreciation for such service was particularly high.
