Sergeant Stubby: How a Stray Dog and His Best Friend Helped Win World War I and Stole the Heart of a Nation - Softcover
Meet Sergeant Stubby: World War I dog veteran, decorated war hero, American icon, and above all, man's best friend. Stubby's story begins in 1917 when America is about to enter the war. A stowaway dog befriends Private James Robert "Bob" Conroy at the Connecticut National Guard camp at Yale University and the two become inseparable. Stubby also wins over the commanding officer and is soon made an official member of the 102nd Infantry of the 26th division. What follows is an epic tale of how man's best friend becomes an invaluable soldier on the front lines and in the trenches, a decorated war hero and an inspiration to a country long after the troops returned home.

From Booklist:
Is the appeal of this book greater for dog lovers or military-history buffs? It’s a toss-up, because the book’s charm simply radiates off the page in all directions. Stubby was a genial terrier of uncertain breeding who began hanging around the Yale University training grounds of the 102d Infantry Regiment, soon to be shipped off to war (WWI, that is). Stubby’s particular pal was James Conroy, a 25-year-old volunteer. Conroy’s unit soon adopted Stubby as their pet. When it came time for deployment to Europe, Conroy smuggled Stubby onboard, and the pooch’s charm led to his acceptance by the unit’s higher-ups as an official mascot. Stubby stood by his men in the worst trench conditions, but Conroy remained his truest friend. Stubby became famous in Europe during the war, and his fame accompanied him back home at war’s end. Stubby remained with Conroy until the dog’s death in 1926, and this very engaging book serves as a tribute to canine courage and devotion. Another edition of this book is being published for middle graders (see p.48). --Brad Hooper
