Maddie the Mad
Dog went back to the Gettysburg Battlefield. She wanted to tour the
battle and take pictures of all the famous spots. She found out that
not only SALLIE ANN was at the battle but also an Irish
Wolfhound was there too. Maddie wanted to see the monuments to the
dogs. Sallie Ann was with a Pennsylvania Regiment. The Irish Wolfhound
was with the Irish Brigade. Most people have no idea that there were
dogs at the the battle for all three days. So, Maddie asked me to take
her to see Sallie Ann & The Irish dog. Also, she wanted to walk
the field to see where a new birth of freedom was formed.
Remember, Maddie was born on April
15th. The day President Lincoln died. Maddie and I have a special
place in our hearts for Abraham Lincoln. Since I have read many books
on the Civil War, Maddie wanted to get her own view of that most
important time. |
