Napoleon's Papillons (Video)



Courageous under fire, though not, unfortunately, the best shots.

Sacre' bleu! Papillons as artillerymen? Who could have dreamed up such a thing? Certainly not Napoleon. Or did he?

In this History Channel style "documentary", small French spaniels are pressed into service at a pivotal battle against the Russian army.

Though the Papillons are plucky, they also manage to wipe out a portion of the rear infantry due to a tragic inability to properly aim cannons.

Reminds me to polish up on our straight tunnel work. Or "Papillon cannons" as they are sometimes called? In this regard, at least, it seems the Papillon's aim can be improved!
