Heroic Animals

I found an interesting story of a dog named Stubby (for his short tail). This dog was considered a very heroic pup because during World War I he was allowed to join soldiers on the front line and to serve in 17 battles. He was able to do many things like locating his wounded comrades, warning about an enemy gas strike and even attacking a German soldier that was trying to map out the layout of the dog's Allied trenches. For this reasons he was rightfully promoted to Sergeant Stubby, became a lifetime member of the American Legion, won the gold dog's medal and finally became one of the Georgetown University's  mascots.
