House dogs should be kept in one room. Cats should be placed in a box or basket. Residents should not turn pets loose outdoors and should not ask police officers to care for them.<br \/>\nPet birds, at risk from broken natural gas lines, could be placed in a gas-proof box. The same was true with pet white mice.<br \/>\nOwners who could accommodate their pets in the country should do so.<br \/>\nBut the guidelines warned against killing pets, as had happened in Britain during German air attacks. The Humane Society pointed to the impact such animals have on morale.<br \/>\n&#8220;Don&#8217;t kill your pet,&#8221;The York Dispatch reported, &#8220;with the idea that you will thereby spare them the dangers of an air raid.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>By the way, York city is accepting donations for the sculpture and its ongoing maintenance. Tax-deductible contributions should be made payable to &#8220;City of York&#8221; and sent to the City Treasurer&#8217;s office, 50 West King Street, PO Box 509, York, PA 17405.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this slideshow, Art Glatfelter is seen laying his hand on the statue of his<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,14,6,7,47,4,11,8,13,25,23,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archives-all-posts","category-books-reading","category-events","category-explanationscontroversy","category-for-photo-fans","category-local-journalism-web","category-local-landmarks","category-people","category-pets-animals","category-war","category-world-war-ii","category-york-celebrities"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Marine and his military dog meet 60 years later - York Town Square<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/yorkblog.com\/yorktownsquare\/marine-and-his-military-dog-me\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Marine and his military dog meet 60 years later - York Town Square\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In this slideshow, Art Glatfelter is seen laying his hand on the statue of his\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/yorkblog.com\/yorktownsquare\/marine-and-his-military-dog-me\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"York Town Square\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2006-11-14T18:16:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2014-03-16T21:14:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jim McClure\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@JamesMcClure\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jim McClure\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/yorkblog.com\\\/yorktownsquare\\\/marine-and-his-military-dog-me\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/yorkblog.com\\\/yorktownsquare\\\/marine-and-his-military-dog-me\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Jim McClure\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/yorkblog.com\\\/yorktownsquare\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b48a19c4bb41c9ee494a3eb75485cdd0\"},\"headline\":\"Marine and his military dog meet 60 years later\",\"datePublished\":\"2006-11-14T18:16:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-03-16T21:14:36+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/yorkblog.com\\\/yorktownsquare\\\/marine-and-his-military-dog-me\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":324,\"commentCount\":0,\"articleSection\":[\"Archives, all posts\",\"Books &amp;
