Leather dog collar belonging to Caesar, bulldog mascot of "A" Company 4th Battalion N.Z.R.B. Engraved as "Ceaser"

... that during WW1 a bulldog from New Zealand (collar pictured) was taught to locate wounded soldiers on the battlefields of the Western Front and guide them back to safety?

@Winnieswikiworld: Not a review, but you need to link the article you are nominating in the hooks and format them properly. Yue🌙 02:31, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I already took care of that, at the same time the above comment was being left. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 02:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Winnieswikiworld Nice article. It meets the DYK criteria (is new and long enough) and has no copyvios. The image was missing its licence in the "permission" field and I've added it. QPQ not needed.

Reviewing ALT0: The hook is interesting and it has a missing "(collar pictured)" so I've added that, as well as a link to Western Front. It matches the source and the article.

Extra comment: I personally would title the article "Caesar (Anzac dog)" but maybe there's something I'm missing and I'm wrong. ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:46, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
