The True Story of World War I's Bravest Dog. A National Geographic Kids Book for dog lovers and Kids of all Ages. Actually, Bausum
wrote twin titles about the stray dog smuggled to
Europe during World War I who returned to a hero’s welcome. Both books were
published in 2014 by National Geographic: Sergeant Stubby (for adult readers)
and Stubby the War Dog (for children). Though I remain devoted to another canine hero from The Great War (Rin Tin Tin) Stubby's true story will leave you amazed....
Known for his keen instincts and fierce loyalty, Stubby is still recognized today as the most decorated canine in American history and the first promoted to the rank of Sergeant in the U.S. Army. Naturally an animated movie followed......:)

Dogs have uncanny instincts to be proud of.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at true dog story. I have heard about this dog before. Love that he was made Sargent Stubby.
ReplyDeleteDoes he die at the end? I like animal stories that don't have a sad ending.
ReplyDeleteWe also love dog stories. Unless they talk about abuse.
ReplyDeleteDear Troutbirder, I can see that I need to go to the library website and find one of these two versions of the story. I love to read about animals and their instincts. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
ReplyDeleteLike Lin, I have trouble reading stories where the dog dies at the end... so I tend to avoid reading any books like this. So I probably miss a lot of good books to avoid the pain. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteDear Troutbirder, I did check in the library and it has both books! Thanks for the recommendation. Peace.
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you.
