Background Video Sergeant Reckless, a Horse of a Different Breed | view minute 0:54-1:43

Sergeant Reckless, by Patricia McCormick
With every war comes stories of heroism. In this case, it's a little mare used to haul ammunition by U.S. soldiers during the Korean War. Though the marines had doubts about her ability to haul the heavy loads, they began her training. It quickly became apparent that not only did Reckless have a large heart, she'd also consume anything-including chocolate, Coca-Cola, and poker chips.
​

Training Activity Do you have a dog at home? See if you can train your dog to carry a basket, following the steps in this video. Note the similarities and differences in how the dog is taught and how Reckless was taught.
​

Kitchen Connection Reckless surely did love sweets! Use leftover Halloween candy to bake Candy Loaded Oatmeal Bars.

​Sergeant Billy, the True Story of the Goat Who Went to War, by Mireille Messier
In 1914, Canadian soldiers headed for battle in France borrowed a goat from a girl and promised to bring him back. He trained with his new buddies and, despite orders, they smuggled him aboard their ship. The goat did well in the trenches, comforted and amused the soldiers, and was even jailed as a spy.
