A BIGGER Mutt Shell!!!

Venturing back to the  List of famous dogs wiki page, I finally get to the section on “War Dogs”.  One in particular stood out: 

• Sarbi, an Australian special forces explosives detection dog that spent almost 14 months missing in action (MIA) in Afghanistan before being recovered in 2009

The first being that he was an explosive detection dog... and so jiving with “shell” re my last three posts.  

• Sarbi (11 September 2002 – 27 March 2015)  

His birthday speaks cryptic volumes!!  I also found in the list:

• Willy, George S. Patton's bull terrier

This must be about the third time that the name Patton... and the second time the General himself has cropped up, note from his wiki page:

•  George Smith Patton Jr. (November 11, 1885 – Dec 21, 1945) 

TOMORROW is Patton’s birthday!! It’s interesting too, that Remembrance Day is 11/11.  And an addition to a cluster found in my previous post:

“November __10(x4), 11, __/ Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  

In the section re Rescue Dogs:

 Approximately 350 search and rescue dogs worked at the World Trade Center site following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Rescuers relied on the dogs' sense of smell and agility in tight spaces to seek survivors and recover the remains of victims.^[99]

• Ana, the first of the first responder dogs at the World Trade Center
• Ana (July 4, 1995 – November 12, 2008)  

Ana’s date of death adds to the cluster

“November 10(x4), 11, 12/ Date Sequence” pattern cluster

As for her birthday, read this blogs Header!!!
