Lest we forget all those who served

Daisy: It’s Anzac Day.
Larry: I know.
Daisy: Do you know what it stands for?
Larry: Any New Zoomies Attract Cibble.
Daisy: Kibble is spelled with a K, you furry flapper, and Anzac Day is not something to make fun of. Anzac Day, for the sake of our non-Australian and New Zealand friends, is a national day of remembrance for those who gave their lives defending our country.
Larry: Kibble with a K? Really?
Daisy: What’s more, there is a growing opinion that dogs are insufficiently recognised on Anzac Day.
Larry: Dogs died defending Australia?
Daisy: And New Zealand. Yes. Dogs and other animals – such as the heroic donkeys which carried the injured and dead away from the trenches in World War 1 – have played important roles in many wars. We can go all the way back to the mighty war dogs that fought alongside the Roman legionnaires.
Larry: How do you say kibble in Latin?
Daisy: And Hugh Wirth, who is president of the Australian RSPCA and reasonably important as far as humans go, is leading the calls for wider Anzac Day acknowledgement of the roles of dogs and other animals in war. So stop making fun of …
Larry: Sounds a Wirthwhile cause to me. By the way, what’s a flapper?
Daisy: Grrrrr …
Larry: Kibble with a K. I must remember that.
