"Did 'you ever read in the paper that dogs know the noise of a German aeroplane from one of ours ? I have read it and thought it nonsense. Well, I think differently now. My bedroom looks out on to a yard; in the yard is tied a small dog, rather a dear. He sleeps there in hie kennel and never makes a sound. Our bombing machines go over every night and he never takes any notice of them. This morning he woke me up about 1 o'clock making an awful noise, and I could tell he was terrified about something. I listened, and sure enough I could hear the buzz of aeroplanes, but thought they were ours. They got nearer, and the dog got so excited and frightened that he broke his chain and jumped through my window and up on to my bed. In a few minutes the first bomb dropped, and then several more. As each one dropped he got a bit closer ! I am convinced that dog knew they were Hun machines coming."
