an extract from AZWHS num 9 june 2001. an article entitled ' observations on the film Zulu by John McAdam..he's talking about Pip the little terrier owned by Pope, or Godwyn-Austen?.
" On my research field trips to the Mission Station, i discovered that when the defenders were at the final redoubt, our little dog would run up and down on the top of the parapet and bark furiously when the Zulu were massing in the darkness for yet another assault, giving the defenders good warning of an impending attack".
What a brave little mutt, i believe after the Battle of Isandhlwana,stray british dog's which survived were seen in packs roaming. cheers xhosa

Why start two topics, when one already exists ? Just add to it.
