"Pete the Pooch, Able Seaman, isn’t like other dogs. To him a bollard serves one purpose. About it you make a line fast when a ship is being moored. Pete, LeHavre’s mooring expert, knows all about ships and the way to moor them. He’s handled many vessels in his war-time life, such as this Coast Guard 83 foot cutter about to be tied up. Pete goes into the sea after the line, brings it to ashore and then makes the vessel fast. It’s all in the day’s work of a sea-dog" - U.S. Coast Guard photos and caption, World War Two
