Nancy Roe Pimm, author of Smoky, the Dog That Saved My Life: The Billy Wynne Story, and WWII veteran Bill Wynne stop by the AKC Museum of the Dog for story time.

World War II soldier Bill Wynne met Smoky while serving in New Guinea, where the dog, who was smaller than Wynne’s army boot, was found trying to scratch her way out of a foxhole. After he adopted her, Smoky served as the squadron mascot and is credited as being the first therapy dog for the emotional support she provided the soldiers.

Pimm and Wynne share stories, then Rick Caran and his Yorkie, Ruby, entertain the crowd with show stopping tricks.
