This patriotic pup served in World War I for 18 months, successfully saving his regiment from several surprise gas attacks and even once capturing a German soldier (by holding him by his pants). Thanks to his heroic efforts, Stubby is the only dog to ever be nominated for rank and subsequently promoted to sergeant. Sergeant Stubby was a dog and the unofficial mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment (United States) and was assigned to the 26th Division in World War I. He served for 18 months and participated in 17 battles on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, found and comforted the wounded, and allegedly once caught a German soldier by the seat of his pants, holding him there until American soldiers found him. His actions were well-documented in contemporary American newspapers. Stubby has been called the most decorated war dog of WWI and the only dog to be nominated for rank and then promoted to sergeant through combat.
