First Arrival: 178.Deakin Medal (10/10, Votes Requested)

Next chapter

The Deakin Medal is the highest medal awarded specifically to animals, awarded exclusively to military animals during World War II, known as the Victoria Cross of the animal kingdom.

The medal was conceived during the First World War, when military dogs were often required to relay information between the trenches, but it was not until World War II that the dogs' exploits were officially recognized.

In recognition of the dedication of animal soldiers and the recognition of animals that have made meritorious contributions in the war, the United Kingdom established the Deakin Medal in 1943, which is awarded to "animal heroes".

However, after the end of World War II, the Commonwealth countries basically did not participate in the war again, although Britain fought a naval battle with Argentina, but the naval battle had nothing to do with animals, so the war was not awarded the Deakin Medal.

As a result, the medal gradually shifted from military to civilian, and was also used to reward animals that have made important contributions to life.

To date, however, only one medal has been awarded for non-military operations: a Labrador retriever that rescued two young children and a blind elderly man from the 2006 Birmingham fire.

Birmingham belongs to the British mainland, and this is the first time that this medal has been awarded to an animal who has made immortal contributions to a non-British Commonwealth country in a non-British state.

This is why Wang Bo didn't believe Charlie's words in the first place, which is a bit too unbelievable.

Although New Zealand pays attention to human rights and equality, there is still discrimination, and hard-working Chinese are often considered to be easy to bully and become the object of discrimination and oppression because of their low-key and introverted temperament.

Unexpectedly, this was true, and the British royal family, which is responsible for the issuance of the Deakin Medal, and the British Animal Protection Society decided to award him this valuable medal after confirming the contribution made by the Zhuangding after confirming his contribution with the New Zealand Earthquake Relief Committee.

This Zhuangding's appearance in the earthquake is phenomenal, known as the world's first search and rescue dog, it immediately indicated the rescue location for the rescue team composed of volunteers, rescued more than 120 victims, and made outstanding achievements!

You must know that the people who first went to Wanderer Town for rescue were ordinary people, they had no professional rescue tools, no life detectors, and could only conduct random digging, as for whether they could save people? It depends on whether God blesses the victims.

The appearance of the strong man became a crucial scene, and it was more accurate than the life detector to find the refugees crushed in the rubble.

That is, Sunset Town is far away from the world, Wang Bo is not very clear about the propaganda of Zhuang Ding outside, and now in the major media, Zhuang Ding is a trump card propaganda tool, with many nicknames: rescue compass, lighthouse in the ruins, Ear of God, etc., prestigious.

This time, the British royal family decided to award the medal to the strong man, which once again detonated the media publicity.

Originally, after nearly a month of silence, Zhuangding's deeds were already a bit of a passing thing, but as soon as the news of the award was confirmed, the New Zealand media went crazy again.

Since the end of June, a steady stream of interview cars have been killed in the town, and Wang Bo was initially interested in taking Zhuang Ding to participate in the interview, which was regarded as promoting the town.

However, there were more and more TV stations and media interviews, and the strong man was so annoyed that Lao Wang was also annoyed, so one man and one dog hid in the pasture, and worked together to train the princes to shepherd sheep.

Rottweilers do have a very high IQ, and under Wang Bo's hard training, a few little things have learned to drive cattle and sheep, and of course, they have also learned to chase rabbits.

At the beginning of July, a convoy of luxury cars arrived in Omarama, starting with a maroon Bentley elegance, which was the convoy of the British royal family.

Wang Bo got the news a week in advance and asked to go to Aocheng on the first Saturday in July to attend the medal ceremony of the Zhuangding.

It stands to reason that the award ceremony should be held in a small town, but due to security issues and the venue where the ceremony will be held, an empty town is not suitable, so it was moved to a small town.

So, on Friday, Wang Bo came to the town with the strong men, the queen, and the military commanders, and Xiao Wang also wanted to follow, but it still limped when it walked, and the old king did not dare to let this kid show his face, so he had to leave it in the castle.

Don't think about it, when the car left, Xiao Wang, who was hiding behind the castle gate, began to have tears in his eyes again.

The ceremony was held in the auditorium in Okujo, which was a victim of the earthquake, but has been renovated and has a unique purpose.

Although New Zealand has long declared independence, it is still legally a vassal of the United Kingdom, subject to the rule of the royal family, who is equivalent to the boss inspecting the company.

But the people of this country are different from other countries, and all people are created equal here is not an empty word, so the arrival of the British royal family caused a sensation, but it did not require the people of the small town to come and cheer.

When the royal motorcade arrived, there were far more media people on both sides of the street than there were ordinary people who came to see the excitement.

There are a lot of people around the auditorium, these people are here for the strong men, and now the strong men have a lot of fans.

Wang Bo already knew that the British royal family sent the award this time was Princess Eugenie, the granddaughter of the current Queen Elizabeth II and the eighth heir to the throne of the British king.

He had no experience in participating in similar occasions, so he only dressed himself neatly and handsomely, and the strong man just brushed the bristles and then brought it directly to the venue without any other costumes.

Seeing the dumb-faced dog, the mayor of Aocheng, Huta Sak, was also stunned, and he asked in surprise, "Didn't you dress up this young man?" ”

Wang Bo smiled and said: "Of course it's dressed, I deliberately smoothed its hair today, you see, is its hair very slippery?" ”

Zhuang Ding sat down and scratched his shoulders vigorously with his hind paws, and the dog's hair flew all over......

Mayor Huta was going crazy, and he asked Wang Bo to quickly find a way to dress up as a strong man, and he must not come to see the princess of the British royal family like this, nor can he appear in public like this.

Lao Wang also feels crazy, as for it? Zhuang Ding usually rolls in muddy water, I guess these people have never seen it, this is a mastiff, not a pet dog!

In fact, he really wanted to dress up the strong man, but unfortunately he didn't have that ability, this would be the end, so he had to find a way to find someone to help.

The one who can dress up is a woman, there are not many women he knows in Aocheng, and the most beautiful and well-dressed is Eva, so he quickly called Eva to come to the rescue.

Eva soon arrived, and she, like Lao Wang, dressed herself up beautifully:

She wore a neatly cut coat as a jacket, with a fur collar design with a winter atmosphere, with an orange printed dress and a red satchel.
