New enough, long enough and within policy. (The lead could be expanded a bit with a few words about post-WWI dogs, but for DYK purposes the article is more than fine as it is right now.) The hook is excellent (though very melancholic) and supported by an inline citation (not the same supplied in the nomination above, though, and not accessible for me but AGF. The one above furthermore supports the hook, so no problem here.) No image, QPQ has been done. This should be good to go. It was a fascinating read, though very sad.

The page got remarkably high readership while it was at DYK – over 150K. Well done! Andrew🐉(talk) 17:42, 10 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
