This resource from the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History tells the story of Sergeant Stubby, the dog mascot of the 102nd Infantry, 26th Yankee Division. Veteran of 17 battles, Stubby was injured by shrapnel and mustard gas during his time in the war. He warned his fellow soldiers of gas attacks, located wounded soldiers, and even helped catch an enemy spy. Stubby died in 1926. His final resting place is the National Museum of American History.
