**The ANZAC Dog Who Delivered Hope: The Story of "Horrie the Wog Dog"**

During World War II, an Australian soldier named Jim Moody found a starving puppy in the Egyptian desert while serving with the 2/1st Machine Gun Battalion. The little terrier-mix, later named **"Horrie"**, became the battalion’s mascot—and a true ANZAC hero.

Horrie wasn’t just a morale booster (though he certainly was that!). He had an incredible ability to hear enemy aircraft long before the soldiers could. His early warnings saved lives by giving troops time to take cover before bombings. The men adored him, sharing their rations and even smuggling him between postings in a kitbag.

When the war ended, Moody managed to sneak Horrie back to Australia—but quarantine laws meant the little dog faced destruction. The public rallied behind him, and in a famous twist, a lookalike dog was supposedly surrendered in Horrie’s place while the real Horrie lived out his days in secret.

Horrie’s story is a testament to the unbreakable bond between soldiers and their dogs—a bond built on loyalty, courage, and a little bit of clever mischief.

**Lest we forget the furry heroes who stood (and barked!) beside our diggers.** 🐾

**🐾 Happy Easter from All Your Furry Friends! 🐾**

Hoppy Easter, paw-rents and pups! 🐰🌸 May your day be filled with belly rubs, plenty of treats (the dog-safe kind!), and lots of zoomies in the sunshine.

Remember, while you're enjoying those delicious chocolate eggs, **keep them far away from your four-legged pals**—chocolate is a big no-no for dogs! �🍫 Instead, spoil them with some pup-friendly snacks or an extra game of fetch.

And now, a little dog joke to make you smile:
*Why did the dog sit in the shade?*
*Because he didn’t want to be a hot dog!* 🌭😆

Wishing you all a tail-wagging, egg-citing Easter! 🥕🐾

**🐾 BREAKING NEWS: Mandurah Dog Park Introduces "Bark-to-School" Training Program! 🐾**

Attention all dog owners in Mandurah! Starting *April 1st*, the beloved **Mandurah Dog Park** will be rolling out an exciting new initiative: **"Bark-to-School"** – a mandatory obedience program for all four-legged visitors!

That’s right—your pup will need to pass a **"Canine Citizenship Test"** before being allowed off-leash! 🎓🐕

# # # **Here’s what your dog will be tested on:**
✅ **Polite Greetings** – No jumping, just paw shakes.
✅ **Synchronized Tail Wagging** – For maximum park harmony.
✅ **"Leave It" Advanced Edition** – Ignoring even the most tempting tennis balls.
✅ **Group Howl-alongs** – Must stay in key.

Dogs who fail will be given a **"Bark-lash" (temporary bark-limiting muzzle)** until they complete remedial **"Puppy Night School."** Owners of repeat offenders may be required to wear a **"My Dog Flunked Obedience"** vest for a week.

**📅 Enforcement begins TODAY!** Animal Control Officers will be on-site with clipboards, grading every wag, sniff, and zoomie.

---

**🐶 APRIL FOOLS!** Don’t worry—your pups are still free to be their wonderfully chaotic selves at Mandurah Dog Park! No tests, no vests, just good old-fashioned fun (and maybe a few squirrel chases).

Happy April Fool’s Day from your pals at **Mandurah Dog Park**! 🎉🐾

*P.S. If your dog *does* know synchronized tail wagging, we’d actually love to see that…* 😉
