Hero dog put out bomb in Second World War by URINATING on it

A medal awarded to a dog for urinating on an incendiary bomb to extinguish it in the Blitz was found during a house clearance.

Great Dane Juliana took action when the device fell through the roof of her owner’s home in 1941.

In 1944, she got a second Blue Cross Medal for alerting customers to a fire in her master’s shop.

Auctioneers found one medal and a portrait, which carried a plaque describing Juliana’s brave deeds, in a Bristol house.

The two items sold together for £1,100, more than 18 times the £60 pre-sale estimate.

Philip Taubenheim, auctioneer at Wotton Auction Rooms, Glos, said: “These items tell a fantastic story.

"One can only assume this was a Great Dane with a great bladder.”

Juliana met a sad end in 1946 when she was killed by poison posted through her owner’s letterbox.
