EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1902, a group of determined dogs are seen assisting smugglers in their clandestine operations at the Belgian border. The image captures a moment of intense focus and collaboration between man and beast as they work together to transport contraband goods across the border. The use of dogs in smuggling was a common practice during this era, particularly along the porous borders of Europe. Their keen senses and agility made them invaluable assets to smugglers, allowing them to evade detection from border guards and customs officials. In this scene, the dogs are seen carrying heavy packs slung over their backs, their tails wagging with excitement and anticipation. The smugglers, dressed in plain clothes and hats pulled low over their brows, move stealthily through the woods, their eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. Despite the illicit nature of their work, there is a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between the smugglers and their canine companions. The dogs seem to understand their role in the operation, and their unwavering loyalty and obedience make them essential partners in the smuggling enterprise. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, where the porous borders of Europe and the allure of illicit trade provided fertile ground for creative problem-solving and innovative methods of transportation. The use of dogs in smuggling may seem unusual to us today, but this image serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who lived and worked along the borders of Europe over a century ago.
