Meet America's First War Dog Hero! Sergeant Stubby

""When we see thousands of pit bulls dying in shelters, being banned from cities and from neighborhoods, even Paw Parks in most cities, it's hard to believe that the American Staffordshire Terrier was "America's dog". They were once called the Nanny dog for the care they showed to children in their homes. Stubby was the first War Hero dog yet his breed has been treated terribly by the country which Stubby served. It's time to give the AST the opportunity to prove what wonderful canine companions they truly are.""
