Sgt. Stubby was a good doggo, and an @AmericanLegion mascot. https://t.co/8O6TcRwYlm

[Stars and Stripes @starsandstripes]

Stubby was a Boston terrier mix that traveled to Europe with a Connecticut unit during World War I became famous for warning soldiers of incoming gas attacks and locating wounded soldiers on the battlefield, staying with them until help arrived. https://t.co/voMBKFAdhb
