Your link was slightly off but I'd read this early on in the day so here's the link

At the last report Ronald McDonald had made great progress in the above.

It worked when I clicked it right after posting and when I cut and pasted it, but you are right, it isn't working now.

Thanks Scaevola!  :aok

you have put the link in the name for the url, instead of the link bit.

so when you click on the link it links to nothing

Thanks Furball, but I did.  The actual link I posted was just slightly different from the one Scaevola had.

I don't know about the fighter rats or wasps, but the Soviet antitank dog squads were very effective on the Eastern Front during WWII. Statistically 10-12 dogs equipped with the antitank mines were able to knock out 7-8 German panzers.
The fighter canines perished from the explosion too.
The dogs also took active part in the defence of the British Isles during WWII. See the link below.
