Friday the 13th is a widely recognized Western superstition
combining the fear of the number 13—associated with
biblical betrayal and Norse mythology—with the unlucky
reputation of Fridays.
Believed to cause bad luck, it causes significant anxiety
and economic impact, with roughly 1 in 212 days being
a Friday the 13th.

On March 13, 1942, the Quartermaster Corps of the United
States Army began training dogs for the newly established
War Dog Program, or “K-9 Corps.”
Well over a million dogs served on both sides during World
War I, carrying messages along the complex network of
trenches and providing some measure of psychological
comfort to the soldiers.
The most famous dog to emerge from the war was Rin Tin
Tin, an abandoned puppy of German war dogs found in
France in 1918 and taken to the United States, where he
made his film debut in the 1922 silent film The Man from
Hell’s River.
As the first bona fide animal movie star, Rin Tin Tin made
the little-known German Shepherd breed famous across
the country.
