World War I re-enacted by dogs

The Mayor of Mt. Holly posted this terrific movie about World War I starring dogs, "All Quiet on the Canine Front." Here's a bit of information about the Dogville Shorts series (1921-1931). (Wot, no Wikipedia entry?)

Hot dog!

Dogs are smarter than that.

The video is down right now but if it's for real then pulling this in 1921 sounds a little provocative to me.

That would be like the LOLcats making fun of the Battle of Fallujah (if the body count from Iraq had been several hundred times worse).

I started playing Dr. Dog: The Girl about 10 seconds into this video. Leave the audio on a bit. I swear they were made for each other. Makes the video that much better.

How is it possible that this story was posted (and linked) without a single reference to that famous WWI flying ace, Snoopy? Have his heroics been forgotten already? :)

Why is it that I sent you a link to a post about this almost a year ago, but you only decide to post about it when you friend's blog posts it?

Is it only cool when a friend of the blog says it's cool?
