Stubby - Brave Soldier Dog - Famous Animal Stories by Richard and Sally Glendinning 1978 - Rare - Like New!
Sergeant Stubby (1916 – March 16, 1926) was a dog, the unofficial mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment and was assigned to the 26th (Yankee) Division in World War I and travelled with his division to France to fight alongside the French. He served for 18 months and participated in 17 battles and four offensives on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, found and comforted the wounded, and allegedly once caught a German soldier by the seat of his pants, holding him there until American soldiers found him.
