Have you seen this picture?
I think it is the nicest I have ever seen about Hinomaru and Nobori.
I was aware of civilians giving their dog to the army, but not of such ceremony with personalized items like this. It is like they was sending a son on the front.
I find this picture really amaizing so I would like to share it with you. Unfortunatly I am not the owner, I hope it is okay. I will remove the picture if asked to do so.
Can you translate the name of the dog? I am curious to know it.
Here is a good article on the story of Maj. Itakura and his 3 german shepperds in Kwantung army. Their story was embellished to serve the purpose of the propaganda encouraging the children to do their part in the war effort by taking exemple of the sacrifice of the dogs and by giving their pets to serve or to be used in the army.
