Oliver Cromwell saved Irish wolfhounds from extinction

I love these beautiful, loving dogs.We had 5 growing up, they were sweet & gentle and when you walk them some people would be scared and cross the street just because of their size...

If ever there was proof that English protestants care more about their pets than children ;0 "Oh look at the baby on the pike.. mind the dog.. oh what a pretty dog you are..." Oliver Cromwell in Clonmel.

And Both the Royal Irish Regiment AND the Irish Guards have a Wolfhound as Regimental Mascots !~

He may have saved dogs dude , but he murdered raped and brutalized many Irish nationals with his warped mentality. I hope the hounds are peeing on his soil. I have no doubt a huge big hound is taking good care of him now in the inner depths of eternity.Cherrio Oliver.

"8. The Royal Irish Regiment , Prince William’s regiment in the British Army has a wolfhound as mascot" WRONG..........please fact check before you post stuff this is totally incorrect, PRINCE ANDREW IS col in chief of the Royal Irish Regiment, Prince William is a Col of the IRISH GUARDS, learn the difference, the IRISH GUARDS are NOT THE ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT

To bad the wolfhound didn't eat Cromwell for breakfast. But then the poor dog would have died after tasting that horrible creature.

Mrs. Benzick (sic) for years led the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York with her four Irish Wolf Hounds. She was our neighbor in Elmont L.I.. I have fond memories of those dogs.

I always wanted one but it has to be treated exceptionally well. The short lifespan is definitely a minus, one becomes very attached to them and losing one is very difficult to deal with. I for one missed my pets more than I missed some people.

A little known fact was that "Dogs over People" was inked on Cromwell's left buttock.

Holy S**t, the genocidal maniac that was Cromwell did some good in Ireland. Hope he still gets a cactus shoved up his ass every half hour in hell.

I have been to the St. Paddy's Parade in NYC the last four yrs. The Fighting Sixty Ninth always has a few wolfhounds. They are impressive and were used in Iraq when the National Guard was deployed and left a few brave men behind.

Put people to work saving an animal that served his reign well. Had a thing with royals as well, wanted 'em dead. This Hitler-like maniac got his cumuppance like goodly number of tyrants do.

Well that is the first I ever heard of old jollie ollie saving anything
