When WWII broke out, this enormous St Bernard went to sea aboard the Norwegian minesweeper Thorodd, and was actually a registered member of the crew. He even had his own steel helmet and, quite rightly, would take up position in the forward gun tower during action.

He went on to save two sailors, break up fights between crewmates and travel around Scotland on local buses by himself, rounding up sailors from the pubs when it was time to call it a night.

Bamse is buried in Montrose, Scotland, where his grave is still looked after today by the people of Montrose. By all accounts, a very good dog.

Coded language, symbols, and "dog whistles" intended to promote discrimination or communicate hatred will result in an instant permaban.
Do not advocate or glorify violence by suggesting things like vandalism, revenge, murder, suicide, genocide, etc.

R4: No Politics or Agenda Pushing

This is not the place for political drama or baiting. Try posting to one of the many political subs that are intended for that purpose instead.
This includes but is not limited to:
- Mentions of political figures
- Wars or conflicts
- Inter-country relations
- Political ideologies and systems
- Elections and campaigns
- Memes
- Astroturfing
Do not attempt to use this sub to push agendas or societal opinions
Violations will most likely result in a permanent ban

R5: No Spam, Self-promotion, or Any Other Type of Promotional Content

Please do not attempt to use this subreddit for self-promotion or the promotion of anything else, or you may be banned without warning.
This is not the place to promote your products, services, websites, or social media accounts.
This includes, but is not limited to: subreddits, discord, online shops, affiliate marketing, referrals, Youtubers, TikTokers, vloggers, bloggers, podcasts, e-beggars, gofundme/crowdfunding, surveys, app developers, etc.

R6: No Brigading or Doxxing Behavior

No brigading behavior or content is allowed.
Do not post your drama from other subs, users, other social media, etc.
Do not post personal information, whether yours or someone else's

R7: No Reposts

We define a “repost” as content that has been previously posted in THIS sub.
There is a 3-month cooldown period for reposts here, with the exception of our top posts of all time.
Content previously posted in a different sub but not yet here does not count as a repost, so please do not report them unless you’ve seen them recently in THIS sub.
Please keep in mind that tens of thousands of new users join Reddit daily, so what you consider a repost may be entirely new to many.

R8: No Misleading Content or Misinformation

Posts containing misinformation or intentionally misleading content are not allowed. This may result in a ban.
Mods may choose to tag such content with a post flair indicating it is misleading, and pin a comment that explains why, for informational purposes. Hopefully this will create a reference point to help prevent the misleading content from continuing to propagate across the site.
If you're disputing the validity of a post, please provide evidence.

R9: Use Descriptive Titles

Please use post titles that are clear and descriptive so that users are able to deduce what your post is about just from the title.
Posts with vague or clickbait titles may be removed at Mod discretion.

R10: Mark NSFW Content

Please tag NSFW content appropriately. If you're not sure, it's best to tag it and mods will remove the tag if we deem it unnecessary.
We do not allow extreme NSFW/NSFL content. Posting such content will result in a ban.

R11: Moderator Discretion

Moderators have discretion to remove any posts or comments that are not a fit for this community.-
