I'm getting questions about the hiding dogs from the Germans page in the booklet I shared, so here's a bit of background on that sad story.
The Germans organised many dog inspections, dogs big enough for "war work" were confiscated.

People were told they would be guard dogs but many were probably just send into mine fields.
So the dogs had to be big and heavy.
Some of these photos were taken secretly.

Thanks to the dog tax Germans knew exactly who owned a dog.
To save their canine friends (good) people tried all sorts of tricks to fool the Germans, like (temporarily) swapping their dog for a smaller one or sending it to the countryside and say it ran off or died.

This photo is heartbreaking, a dog being taken away by a German soldier, it appears to be confused, looking back at its owner walking away.
Then again, that's just my interpretation.
It doesn't bear thinking about.
