Time Travels with Truffle:  Dateline Delaware River, 11:45 PM December 25th, 1776.  On this fateful night, Truffle became the tiniest, fluffiest tactician of the American Revolution. As icy winds whipped across the Delaware on Christmas night, Washington’s men hesitated—until Truffle trotted to the riverbank, planted her paws like a general, and barked a sharp command that somehow cut through the storm. Soldiers swore the little dog could sense the safest path through the drifting ice. Washington followed her lead, guiding the boats across the dark water. By dawn, the Continental Army had reached the far shore—and Truffle, tail held high, had earned her place as the secret hero of the crossing.
