Veterans Day 🥰
In honor of Memorial Day, we’re looking back on the life of Sergeant Stubby, a remarkable and beloved military dog who served with distinction during World War I. Born around 1916, Stubby was a stray who was found wandering the streets of Connecticut and eventually adopted by soldiers at Yale University. Despite his small size, he quickly proved to be brave, loyal, and intelligent. Stubby became an official part of the 102nd Infantry Regiment and participated in numerous battles in France. He was known for alerting soldiers to incoming gas attacks and locating wounded comrades on the battlefield. His acts of bravery earned him the rank of Sergeant, making him one of the most decorated dogs in American military history. Today, we acknowledge Stubby’s enduring bravery along with the memory of those who served with unwavering courage and commitment throughout the military.
