Sgt. Stubby's story sounds like Hollywood magic, but it's true!

Stubby, a stray dog, was rescued from the streets of New Haven in the summer of 1917 by J. Robert Conroy, a Connecticut National Guard soldier from New Britain. Stubby was smuggled to France where he fought during World War One, became the mascot for Connecticut's 102nd Infantry Regiment, and the most decorated canine in U.S. history.

Sgt Stubby Is In The Ct. Trees Of Honor!
