The first Jeep was produced from a bid by the U.S. Army for
a small, all-terrain vehicle with four-wheel drive.
But no one is sure where the brand “Jeep” first came to mean
the all-wheel-drive truck the U.S. Army needed urgently for World War II.

Today is
Universal Birthday for Shelter Dogs
The day, August 1st is dubbed “Dogust 1st”
by North Shore Animal League America to symbolize the birthday (day of
re-birth, adoption) for all shelter dogs across America.
If you want to own a dog, besides the option of buying an
expensive puppy, consider adopting one from a dog shelter. If you are destined
to be together, you will find it.
