I recall in my schooldays reading a required short story. It was called "Beware of the Dog." The stroy took place during World War II. An English officer, a pilot, invoved in the European campaign woke up in an English hospital surrounded by caring doctors and nurses. Yet, he felt that something was not quite right. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something was not quite right. The Royal Airforce was to arrive shortly for a debriefing but he felt that something was not quite right and he was uneasy and took himself to a window and stared out. In the distance, there was a sign and he squinted to make it out. 'Garde Au Chien." That was written upon the sign. The sign was written in French and he then realized that he was being deceived, that he was in Nazi occupied France, not England, and so when the officers of the "Royal Air Force" came for the debriefing, he only gave them his name, rank and serial number.
Translation of 'Garde Au Chien': Beware of the Dog.
This sign may be seen all over the world, including some residences on Fort Myers Beach.
