🐾 International Dog Day – 26th August

Today we celebrate a very special four-legged soldier—Brian Boru, the magnificent Irish Wolfhound mascot of The Royal Irish Regiment.

While the troops march with military precision, Brian’s main responsibilities include looking majestic, inspecting the parade and stealing everyone’s attention.

He may not carry a r***e, but he proudly carries centuries of regimental tradition—and probably a few treats in his sights! 🇬🇧🐺

They Served Together.

In the darkest moments of war, courage wasn't shown by people alone.

Dogs crossed battlefields under relentless fire, carrying messages, locating the wounded, and, in many cases, dragging injured soldiers to safety. They asked for nothing in return, yet gave everything in service to others.

Their loyalty knew no fear. Their devotion knew no limits.

As we remember the men and women who served, let us also remember the animals who stood beside them. Their stories deserve to be told, their sacrifice deserves to be honoured, and their memory deserves to live on.

This is why the ASA Charity is creating Northern Ireland's first memorial to all animals that served from the First World War to the present day. Because remembrance should include every life that answered the call.

We Will Remember Them.
