The soldiers named him "Stubby" for his stubby tail, a remnant of an injury sustained during his puppyhood. Little did they know that this unassuming stray would soon become an integral part of their unit, embarking on an extraordinary military campaign.
Stubby's Service
Stubby quickly proved his worth by alerting the soldiers to incoming enemy fire and enemy movements. He became known for his sharp senses and uncanny ability to sense danger. His presence boosted the morale of the troops, providing comfort and companionship amidst the horrors of war.

Stubby's Heroism
Stubby's remarkable service earned him the respect and admiration of both his comrades and his adversaries. During the Battle of Chateau-Thierry, he attacked a German raiding party, saving the life of a wounded soldier. For his bravery, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre, becoming the first dog in American military history to receive the prestigious French medal.

Return Home and Legacy
After the war, Stubby was returned to the United States as a national hero. He was greeted with parades and celebrations, and his story was immortalized in books, articles, and films.
