A stray dog, remembered by Americans as a hero for a hundred years, received by three U.S. presidents, fought brilliantly in World War I, and after the war, it was dressed in uniform, hung with medals, and honorably retired.
The French battlefield of World War I was full of war, explosions could occur at any time, and there were bloody sacrifices at any time and anywhere. But Stabby, the stray dog, was not afraid at all, following the American soldiers around the position, running over, and every day was busy.
Some soldiers were wounded, lying there moaning after bandaging, and Staby would run over, crouch beside him, silently lick his hands, and give him wordless comfort, like a war psychiatrist.
When some of the fighters were shot and wounded, Staby would run all over the camp in search of a doctor, biting the doctor's trouser leg and signaling him to go and treat the wounded. Staby became closer to his comrades, and his combat experience seemed to be getting richer.
Late one night, the American soldiers who had been fighting all day fell into a deep sleep, and Staby suddenly jumped up, he searched around alertly, and then he screamed, and Staby's screams became more and more urgent, and he even ran, biting the corners of the soldiers' clothes, and his trouser legs tried to drag the soldiers up.
Robert knew that this must have been Stabie who had discovered something abnormal, and sure enough, the soldiers who woke up faintly smelled a strange smell in the air.
"Not good, this is a gas bomb set off by the Germans!" , The soldiers quickly put on gas masks and prepared for battle, and after a while a thick green fog drifted over. After a long silence, the Germans, who sneaked in to pick the fruits of victory, were ambushed by the Americans defenselessly. Staby not only saved the lives of the officers and men of the regiment, but also allowed them to fight a big victory, and Staby made a great contribution!
The news reached the whole army, the commander learned this exciting news, risked his life to visit the little hero on the front line, and announced in public: Staby officially became an American private soldier!
Once Staby was wounded, the troops arranged for Robert to accompany him to recuperate, and that evening Robert came out on patrol with the wounded Staby, and they passed by a large man in an American uniform.
Stabby stopped alertly, turned back to meet the big man and rushed up, at this time the big man ran away, Robert and his comrades caught the man, and after interrogation, they learned that it was a German traitor.
He stole the information and was about to go back to his life, but he didn't want to fall into the hands of Staby. How did Staby know he was a cheater? Because at the front this man once shouted at Stabie in German, and he should be unlucky.
Staby made another great contribution this time, and suddenly rose to the rank of sergeant officer. You know, Staby was a wandering little wretched a year ago, what kind of circumstances made him become an officer of the American Army?
The words have to start from Robert's recruit training camp, when the leftovers of the camp attracted a lot of stray cats and stray dogs nearby, this little stray with short legs and short tail was particularly close to the soldiers, it was very clingy, unlike other cats and dogs that hid to the side after eating, it always wagged its tail and dangled among the soldiers, not recognizing life at all.
Robert liked it so much that he quietly adopted it and named it Staby. I wanted it to be a military dog, but it was short and could not meet the standard.
The troops are about to move to the European theater. Robert was reluctant to give it up, so he secretly put it in his backpack and took it to the front, which led to the previous story.
Staby joined the army for 18 months, participated in battles 17 times, was wounded 3 times, received more than a dozen medals, and at the end of the war, it was decommissioned. After retiring from the army, he lived with his comrade-in-arms Robert and died in 1926 at the age of ten.
Its story was also made into the movie "Sergeant Stucker: An American Hero", and Americans expressed their respect and nostalgia for it in this way.
