"Sandy", from the Crimea, the Dog of the Sappers and Miners, 1856. This Dog, who has obtained such notoriety from his adventures in the Crimea...[has] been decorated with a medal...[he] embarked...at the commencement of the war, for the East...[and was] a great guard to his master's tent against the natives, whose honesty is not proverbial...he made (which is quite an uncommon thing) great friends with the Turks and Bashi-bozouks...[he] was present at the battle of Inkerman; received a bayonet-wound, which caused him to go on three legs for some time; from the effects of this wound, although now nearly recovered, he is unable to take long-continued or violent exercise...he is well up to all the bugle-calls, especially those for dinner, breakfast, and supper...The medal is not a real Crimean one, as dogs are not so decorated however distinguished in the service'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
