People and animals adopt each other in the most peculiar circumstances.

Here we have HHC's First Sergeant Perry, and his miniature duck pond. Fortune presents gifts not according to the book.

Then there's Bullshit, the Motor Pool Dog, who was in the process of being bathed when the water was cut off suddenly due to the discovery of leaking MoGas tanks, or some such.

Not least is Specialist 5 Clyde, who originally went to Koala school but was later mis-assigned as a dog. He had an extensive 201 file including promotion orders and payroll records, and managed to contract nearly every known urinary tract disorder. The wistful-looking dude sitting with Clyde atop the soon-to-be-demolished bunker is the proprietor of these pages.

"Tear 'em up, Clyde." -- SP5 G. N. Childers.
