My name is Mayor Molly McMole and I blog for author and illustrator, Lorraine Strieby.
You are going to meet one of Washington's dogs, Madame Moose, a dalmatian,
who guarded several horses during the Revolutionary War.
The Commander Washington left behind 49 dogs when he went to war, including Sweetlips and Vulcan who had a tremendous
appetite and stole a ham from Martha's kitchen before a dinner party. Washington laughted
heartily--not so much, Martha.
These are just facts, but we owe a lot to George Washington and his four-legged friend,
Madame Moose. You can learn a lot from Strieby's new book, "Why is a Spy called a Mole,"
now on hard copy, Amazon and Kindle. Spy Master Christopher McMole in the Revolutionary
War was my famous ancestor. MMM
