Sergeant Stubby, United States Army
That's one bad@ss dog!
He’s wearing his Iron Cross on his bum...
Thank you for the ping. Stubby was brilliant.
Obama’s army would have the infidel dog put down, and his unclean owner with him.
Cool story! I assume it is true.
Stubby was a pitbull and is in the Smithsonian in a glass case.
Stubby must have been a pit Boston mix then, I’ve had Bostons all my life, and I see Boston in his features.
Stubby was of some kind of pit bull, but Bostons were new and not like now, often called Boston Bulldogs or Boston Bull Terrier. They were of fighting dog stock. However, Stubby was decorated purely for fun by Pershing and was really nothing more than a mascot.
Slight modification to comments about Pershing, as per link later, but the “for fun” label remains. The dog wasn’t even officially allowed. So no real war dog.
Your own link shows he did more than just nothing
The poor dog is long gone and not here to defend himself
Actually it’s not about whether he did anything. What he did was not war dog material, he was not a war dog, not trained for anything, and was never genuinely awarded anything. He was a pretty typical dog smuggled and kept in the trenches against rules. He did some nice things but not much more than other dogs would do, and many were smuggled likewise. I’m sure he’s the only one to get publicity for it. Bottom line, the truth is the truth, despite the mirage paraded falsely so much it’s been taken for truth. Repeat it enough....
According to web sources, he was a Boston Terrier. He may have been a mix but looking at Wikipedia articles and comparing them, he looks like Boston Terrier. Most recognizable for me are his bulbous eyes, pits don’t have those big round eyes.
Great story. Thanks for linking.
General Pershing Lands In France: June 28, 1917 - General Pershing lands in France as Commander of the A.E.F. The French Officer behind general Pershing is General Peletier, the civilian to the left is Monsieur Rene Besnard.
Just saving his men from a gas attack was plenty.
I don’t see any “Boston Terrier” there.
Muzzle’s too long and he’s too tall.
Except for his color, he looks very much like my long gone “light” version AmStaff, Rowan.
Godsakes, people will strain gnats for no good reason at all.
I see that Stubby’s “history” is being rewritten to vanish his “pit bull” origins.
God forbid one be a hero, these days.
I like pits, but he’s clearly a Boston Terrier. As you point out, the eyes...head and face is overall all wrong to be a pit.
You’re a mite sour hon
Geez
Actually....its about the fact you detest pit bulls.........not that you’re an accuracy concern troll
Funny thing Google...silly me....I should have chetted up on you foist
Poor doggie.....a long dead combat vet from a war where literally there were millions of casualties in just single battles.....and where my grandpa fought btw
And yet You besmirch him......I’d wager his sacrifice on behalf of his country tops yorn. ...just a hunch
Shamey...
