Welcome to Create
During the Second World War, people in the US volunteered their dogs for service in the military. We've got the receipts: enlistment papers for dogs. The K-9 corps carried messages, sniffed out explosives, dragged sleds, and guarded facilities.
This month, we're inviting our writers to come up with stories about The Dogs of War. You don't have to approve. You can write science fiction. And yes, you can write about cats. Help us out here.

"A collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea. I just didn't really realise that such a thing might be possible in my lifetime or how powerful such a thing might be."
