Soldier and Dog Buddies Even Though War Is Over
Lt. E. E. Davis of 848 Chestnut Street and his war dog Prince, a Belgian shepherd, were honorably discharged on December 7 1945 after serving together in Europe with the First Armored division. They arrived in New York December 4 and returned to Coshocton, where Prince adapts to peacetime life, remaining a loyal one man canine. Prince trained to protect and obey his master, growling at strangers and attacking when commanded, a bond Davis says will endure in peace just as it did in war.
