Dogs in War

(0)
This resource comprises a range of activities to explore the role of dogs in the military and encourages pupils to develop their historical enquiry skills. Military dogs and their jobs in World War I and World War II Activity 1 involves pupils exploring four different jobs dogs had during the world wars, why they were chosen for these jobs, and whether we should have expected them to do these jobs. In activity 2, pupils are asked to respond to the government’s war office request to lend their family dog to the British Army, by writing a letter to Dog World magazine. How do the military meet a dog’s welfare needs? In these tasks, pupils explore the five welfare needs and how the military make sure that military dogs’ needs are met. In activity 3, pupils sort statements into their correct welfare need, and in activity 4 pupils use source information to identify how the military look after their dogs in a training facility in Jordan.
