MOTI
Moti- 5 year old German Shepherd.
This is Moti. A 5 year old German Shepherd who literally took a bullet for his families safety. In 2007 a masked intruder broke into the Patel's house. It didn't take even a second for Moti to jump up and start barking. He barked until he got the gunman's attention. Not long after, the gunman shot Moti and ran, without hurting any of the Patel's. Luckily, Moti made a full recovery. To this day the Patel's are able to be safe knowing that Moti is always with them!

CHIPS
Chips!
The German shepherd tank-guard, Chips, was the most decorated dog of WWII, and probably the most famous war dog in history. Assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division, he was one of the first dogs shipped overseas, serving in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany. While invading Sicily in July 1943, his partner was attacked by a machine gun. Chips immediately followed the shots to an Italian pillbox where he captured 4 Italian soldiers and saved the life of his partner. That same night, with powder burns and a serious scalp wound, Chips helped capture 11 more Italians. The U.S. papers called him a hero, and General Eisenhower personally thanked him for his services. Upon returning to the States, he was awarded the Silver Star for Valor and a Purple Heart, the later has been revoked citing it as being “demeaning to service men” who were also given the award. In 1993, Disney produced a movie called “Chips the War Dog” to commemorate this great hero!
