Paired with SOLSergeant Stubby was quite possibly the most decorated dog of World War I. In 1917, Private J. Robert Conroy of the 102nd Infantry, 26th Yankee Division, found a puppy wandering around the grounds of the Yale University campus where the division was training. He named the pup Stubby on account of his short tail, and the dog soon became the regiment’s unofficial mascot. He learned the various drills and even mastered a dog salute. When the division shipped out for France, Stubby went with them and soon found himself on the front lines of World War I. He served with the 102nd in the trenches for 18 months and participated in four offensives and 17 battles. Apart from being a vital morale-booster, Stubby learned how to warn his fellow soldiers of incoming gas attacks, helped locate injured soldiers, and even apprehended a German spy. He was injured in battle on more than one occasion, and — along with his numerous medals — gained promotion to the rank of sergeant, becoming the first dog to receive a rank in the U.S. armed forces.
