This Christmas, remember Gander — he picked up a live grenade and ran toward the enemy so his soldiers could go home for Christmas instead of him.

Gander was a giant black Newfoundland who served as the unofficial mascot of the Royal Rifles of Canada during World War II. When Hong Kong fell to Japanese forces in December 1941, Gander repeatedly charged enemy soldiers to protect wounded troops, and in his final act, scooped up a live grenade thrown toward a group of injured men and carried it away, saving their lives at the cost of his own. In 2000, he was posthumously awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.
