EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Siege of Shanghai in 1932, Japanese messenger dogs tirelessly carried despatches between their handlers and commanders on the battlefield. In this evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, a Jap messenger dog is seen perched on a makeshift wooden stand, its collar adorned with the insignia of the Imperial Japanese Army. The determined expression on the dog's face and its alert posture convey a sense of unwavering loyalty and dedication to its duty. The Siege of Shanghai, which lasted from August to November 1932, was a pivotal moment in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese Imperial Army, seeking to expand its territorial holdings in China, laid siege to the city of Shanghai, which was then under Chinese Nationalist control. The siege resulted in widespread devastation and loss of life, with an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers killed or wounded. Despite the harsh conditions of the battlefield, the Japanese military relied heavily on their messenger dogs to transmit critical information between units. These dogs, which were often bred for their strength, agility, and intelligence, were trained to carry messages and supplies over long distances, often traversing difficult terrain and navigating through enemy lines. Their ability to move quickly and quietly made them invaluable assets to the Japanese military, and they played a crucial role in the outcome of the siege. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the role of Jap messenger dogs during the Siege of Shanghai, a moment in history that has often been overshadowed by the larger conflicts of World War II. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by animals in times of war and the enduring bond between humans and their animals companions.
