U.S. Army Sgt. James Hellard, who returned from Germany on Aug. 31, 1946, posed for an action photo with his adopted Nazi-trained war dog, Tiger, at his home in Lexington. Tiger, a 90-pound police dog, was captured in May 1945 near Camp Dachau by a soldier in Hellard’s company. Taken from an SS captain, he was brought back to the camp to be a mascot. When first brought to camp, he exhibited a hatred for G.I.’s by biting them, thus earning the name Tiger. After some retraining by Hellard, he gradually lost his intense dislike for Americans.
