Sgt. Stubby was a good doggo, and an @AmericanLegion mascot.
Stubby was a Boston terrier mix that traveled to Europe with a Connecticut unit during World War I became famous for warning soldiers of incoming gas attacks and locating wounded soldiers on the battlefield, staying with them until help arrived.

This is one of the most touching stories I've ever been a part of. The bonds formed between the moms at Section 60. Thinking of them this weekend.
