Description

Move over, Rin Tin Tin. Here comes Sgt. Stubby! That German shepherd star of the silver screen may have been born in the back of enemy lines all through World War I, but Stubby, the stump-tailed terrier, worked in the back of enemy lines, and gained military honors along the way in which. Private Robert Conroy casually adopted the orphan pup at the same time as attending basic training at the campus of Yale University in 1917. The Connecticut volunteer never imagined that his stray dog would change into a war hero. He just liked the little guy. When Conroy’s unit shipped out for France, he smuggled his new friend aboard. By the point Stubby encountered Conroy’s commanding officer, the dog had perfected his right-paw salute. Charmed, the CO awarded Stubby mascot status and sent him in conjunction with Conroy’s unit to the Western Front. Stubby’s brave deeds earned him a place in history and within the Smithsonian Institution where his stuffed body can still be seen. Almost 100 years later, Stubby’s great deeds and brave heart make him an animal hero to fall in love with and treasure all over the place again.
