LONDON, March 13 (UPI) -- British intelligence officers in World War I suspected two cats and a dog of carrying messages from the Germans across British lines, documents revealed.

The National Archive published documents online Thursday revealing officers from the 36th brigade of the 12th Division spotted the animals repeatedly crossing British lines in July 1915 and suspected they have been used by the Germans to pass messages across the lines, the Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

They suspect? The messenger dogs used by the United States are famous. Why would the Germans not have dogs trained to do the same thing?

The messenger dogs could find their handler even if the handler had changed locations. How did they do it? Nobody knows, but it is well documented.

I'm a little more suspicious that a cat would perform that job. Maybe if you separated a mom cat from new kits by a few miles, she would head home?

My cat Apollo was a master spy and a shape shifter. He could understand many different languages.
