100% agreed. I just sent this to a couple of friends and family along with this comment:
Have you seen this recently uncovered footage from the Philippines in 1942? Sometimes it is hard to wrap your head around the fact that there was a lot more going on than just the holocaust, killing nazis, and the whole Western front.

Eye bleach has been around since at least 1942.

For The Record : the Broom the puppy is playing with is called a Walis-tambo
— it’s made from a local grass and my family used it until there was a sizable gap in the middle like missing front teeth — you just had to sweep from the side of the broom until the Whiskers evened out and you had a nub of a broom— that’s when you get a new one

Not the dog-fights you were looking for?

I guess it's pretty interesting to see a 1942 walis (broom) that seems to be a thicker walis tambo with a heftier handle instead of walis tingting seemingly for outdoor use.

Walis tambo are usually for indoors, and are smaller/thinner.

Task, find ww2 footage of historical significance.
Failed: not ww2 footage.
Success: puppies are always significant.
You know what, I would still call that a good day at work.

The fact that someone actually colorized the video too just makes this all the sweeter.

My dad was given his given his engineering degree early to go fight in WWII. Three months of radar training and sent to the Philippines. But winter 1943. Very slim chance but I was hoping to see him.

The level of mental and emotional steeling myself that I did before clicking the play button on that, only to be delightfully relieved.

Think about how many dog generations have passed since then. In human equivalent generations how far back would we be?
1300s?
