How about imaginary animals?
>One evening, I wander into the control room at about midnight. The watch officer and sonar operators are discussing an important philosophical question: would it be more painful to be struck by a whole tuna or a tin of tuna? This is never resolved. These epistemological issues can be sustained over weeks.
>On my fourth day aboard, I make my greatest discovery: that a badger, washed into the bilge tank in Bahrain, is being kept back'aft. >There is a roster to feed it, and somehow it is being kept alive. I insist on seeing it – what a wonderful story! Of course, say the back'afties, come by this evening. After a couple of hours, even in my dim-witted, mind-clouded, headachy state, I realise I have been conned. Do they even have badgers in Bahrain?
>But the fantasy has become important to some of the crew. "It helps pass the time," the head badger-keeper tells me. "It takes the edge off the situation," says one of the senior ratings. "If you get into a situation that's a bit tense, mentioning the badger brings everything back down to earth. If you tried to remain alert 100% of the time it would fatigue you. The ability to relax allows you, when required, to be on the ball." It's the ability to switch instantly from badger mode to potential nuclear meltdown mode that defines a good crew.

Yea it's amazing how psychology works in close knitted teams.
Quads confirm, also he got really excited whenever anyone spoke Polish or the soldiers visited him in Scotland I think.
I saw a show on TV that said the bear also carried ammunition crates to the front lines while walking human style, pretty hard to believe an animal wouldn't run away from the sound of gunfire and incoming explosions.
that's adorable
Since he was picked up when he was a cub, he was probably normalize to the sound of gun shots and explosions from an early age
This meant for
bump
I like that no matter what side of the lines it is some soldier always dresses the dog in clothing
Dressing animals In people clothes has always been funny
