The United States has millions of brave veterans
who have served the country and sacrificed a lot for our freedoms. Some
of those veterans are human and some are Canine! That’s right, we have
K9 Veterans as well and March 13th is a day to honor them.
Dogs
have been jumping into the heat of battle for centuries. To celebrate
our courageous canines, we thought we’d share a few of their stories.

Sergeant
Stubby was the most decorated dog of World War I and the only dog (that
we know of) who was promoted to the rank of sergeant through combat.
This bulldog-mix served with his owner, Corporal Robert Conroy, in the
102nd Infantry Regiment in France for 18 months. His job was to warn his
unit about incoming artillery shells and gas attacks. He saw 17
battles, was injured twice, and caught a German spy by the seat of his
pants
