Today I am back to reviewing animal books. I've just read a very interesting book entitled "Sergeant Stubby" written by Ann Bausum. The publisher is National Geographic. This book tells the story of a stray dog that was adopted as a companion by a soldier heading to the battlefields in France during World War I.
Stubby was a mascot for the entire unit. However, Stubby contributed to the war effort in other ways as well. Stubby could alert the troops in advance when a gas attack was coming. He also captured a spy trying to infiltrate his unit.
When Stubby returned to the United States, he was a hero. He was given many awards and was part of numerous parades.
I really enjoyed this book. It gives much information about Stubby, but it also tells the story of the Great War that cost so many lives. I highly recommend this book.
