The "Even a Dog Enlists" recruitment poster (c.1917) is a delightful example of the playful but pointed imagery used in WW1 American military enlistment campaigns. By featuring a determined-looking dog dressed for service, the poster uses gentle humour to highlight the contrast between animal loyalty and human hesitancy, encouraging men to join up. Such posters were a key tool in the U.S. government's effort to build a volunteer army before and after the introduction of the Selective Service Act of 1917.
