Sergeant Stubby Will Change The Way You Look At Your Dog Fun Love




This dog knows exactly what he’s doing. I think.


Here's Sergeant Stubby, American badass and decorated war-torn soldier. He was once a stray puppy, found by then-Private J. Robert Conroy near the Yale campus in 1917.

As a mascot, Stubby turned heads. He showed off by learning the drills of the 102nd Infantry. He even learned how to salute. The only problem: Dogs weren't allowed in the military. The plot to Airbud? No, Stubby's real life.

So when the time came to go to Europe and join the war, Conroy smuggled Stubby onto the SS Minnesota. The commanding officer was upset when he found him until he saw Stubby's patriotic salute.
