Stubby Enshrined in Veterans Memorial Park, where was he buried?
The college football mascot is a military hero.During World War I, he was America's first canine hero.During the deployment of Connecticut National Guard units to Europe at the start of World War I, little was known about the scrawny stray puppy, a brown and white American pit bull terrier.He hitched himself to Private James Robert Conroy in 1916.He became the official mascot after the men were enamored with him.Stubby the bull terrier was smuggled on the troop ship S.S. Minnesota with the unit and shipped out for France.The young pit bull was oblivious to the noise of battle and began to prove his worth.Stubby helped paramedics find the wounded in "no man's land" for eighteen months.He gave an early warning of gas attacks and then the men of the 102nd put on a gas mask.He helped capture a German spy who was mapping the Allied trenches.He was given the rank of Sergeant for his actions.He was sent to the Red Cross hospital for surgery after he was seriously wounded.He returned to duty after being given the Purple Heart.The little dog's heroism became known to the townsfolk after the battle for Domremy.The women sewed his name and flag into a gold thread on a hand-sewn coat.His trademark coat became a depository for his service medals, pins and buttons, which he wore at parades for the rest of his life.Stubby was the leader of the "good dogs life" after the war.As the 102nd passed in review, the little dog in the lead stopped, raised his right paw to his face, and gave his trademark salute to the President, who was delighted.He attended every legion convention after the war ended and was made a lifetime member of the American legion.He was a lifetime member of the Red Cross and the YMCA and stayed frequently while being fed royally.He sold victory bonds and recruited members for the American Red Cross.He received a gold hero dog's medal from the Humane Society after being decorated for his bravery.Stubby stayed at the Plush Grand Hotel in New York City many times after the hotel lifted its ban on dogs.They went to Georgetown to enroll in law school.The dog became a mascot for the football team.The dog would make a noise with his nose, to the delight of the crowd.His performance inspired half time shows at football games across the country.Stubby spent his final years with his master, who had saved him many years ago.After his death in the arms of John, from symptoms of a very old dog, the remains were preserved.Stubby donated his medals, personal effects, and blanket to the National Red Cross Museum, which displayed it for years.Stubby was put in storage after it became shabby.The war hero was featured at a statewide dog show when it was refurbished a few years ago.He is on display in the Armory.The bull terrier's fame was regained on April 1, 2001 when he was featured prominently, his photo on the cover and a story about military dogs in "Parade" the Sunday insert magazine placed in leading newspapers across America.He was the subject of a children's book in 1978.Stubby was instrumental in the creation of the U.S. "K9 Corps" during World War II.In 1925, he had his portrait painted by the artist to the capital in Washington, D.C., who is now in New Haven.He appeared in a series of shows with Mary Pickford.
