It speaks of the death of a warrior in the first part, died in battle, and asks you to remember his deeds. While the warrior creed is mostly gone from our era, the motto still has relivance in the fact that where you finished your life in relation to what good you have accomplished in this world.

Among other things, he warned the men in the trenches of incoming artillery shells since he could hear them before any human could. Not too shabby for a stray pit bull.

Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:52:57 +0000 http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/10975#comment-47349 I was thinking the same thing... it's funny what we do to our animal heroes. They live a life of service to us, and then we either chop them up for pork, make them live in a zoo, or preserve them after they die. Not trying to rouse PETA or anything; I mean, it's not like the dog cared that he was preserved after death. But it still is kind of ironic, if that's the right word. Also, what kind of a family motto is "Where Have I Fallen, What Have I Done?" Sounds Irish. I was thinking the same thing… it’s funny what we do to our animal heroes.
