World war was one of the terrible times in human history, and the way armies fought in this war change war all together. You see war was just about marching forward

and shooting, but this time they started building trenches, which turn battles

that would have been over in days last for years. So, with battles lasting

years they needed to think of a new weapon that could attack the other side,

that weapon was called mustard gas, a thick yellow cloud that was heavier then

air so it would crawl across the ground and down the trenches coating the

soldiers.

Early life

This is when our military hero came In Sergeant Stubby, this is a very brave dog as

Sargent Stubby was a Bull Terrier, these types of dogs where bred for taking

down large cattle and when you see how small they are you can understand how

brave these dogs are. And this dog holds a percentage of DNA that helped breed

the Boston terrier.

Stubby was found one-day walking around the grounds of Yale university, while members of the 102ndinfantry army was training. Stubby would watch the men

while they trained and became friends with the troop, even the Corporal Robert

Conroy Adored the dog so much that when it was time for his regiment to go to

battle the Corporal Smuggled Stubby to the front lines in France. While in France

the dog was discovered by the Corporals commanding officer and was told to send

him back but the stubby saluted the Commanding officer like he had been trained

and could stay with his infantry he had grown to love.

War Since stubby could stay on the front line it means that he had to help with the

fighting, stubby stayed on the front lines for 18 months, fought in four

offensive attacks and 17 battles, his first battle was on April of 1918, where

he was under first day and night for a month but he was able to keep his cool

providing moral for all the troops. But terrible news happened to stubby, while

taking part in a raid fleeing Germans threw a grenade, which blew up injuring

the foreleg. Because of his injury he was send to the back so he could recover,

but as he did on the frontline he improved moral for the troops recovering.

Soon as he recovered from his injuries he was giving to stripe medals and put

back on the front line to be with the troops.

Within the first year stubby had been blown up and attacked by mustard gas, a special gas masked was designed to protect stubby after this attack, the attack by the

mustard gas may have been a good thing. As stubby has been attacked by the gas

he was able to pick up the scent and knowing how dangerous it was, he was able

to warn all the other troops in the trenches saving many lives. he started to

become famous in the trenches with exploits of saving men who was stuck in no man』s land, to hearing artillery fire before the human ear could and warning troops

to take cover. One of the most notable of his actions was capturing a German

spy named Argonn. With all these achievements, the commander of 102 unit gave

stubby a promotion to sergeant, for all his hard work.

After the war

Whenthe war was over stubby was smuggle back home by Corporal Robert Conroy, when he returned home he became a famous dog been taken on parades and even giving medals. But in 1926 stubby died in his sleep but he lived a full and adventurous

life which not even many humans can get to experience.

世界大戰是人類歷史上的黑暗時期，其作戰方式也影響了當時的世界格局。印象中，當時的打仗應該是不斷射擊，然後挺進。但是這次，軍方開始修建戰壕，所謂戰壕就是在兩方對峙時，掘土成壕，用來躲避對方的子彈和炮彈，這樣一來就將戰時從幾天變成持續幾年。為了速戰速決，就必須想出新的作戰武器來迅速擊破對方，這樣武器就被稱作芥子毒氣（一種糜爛性毒劑，中毒後無特效藥），呈現出黃色厚重的雲狀，比空氣重，因此能穿越地表，下降到戰壕中，使下方人員中毒。

這時我們的主角就登場了，Stubby是一種非常勇敢的狗，屬於牛頭犬與狸雜交的後代，甚至可以打趴大黃牛，如果你看到這種狗體型之小，由於它遺傳了波士頓狗（一種小型犬）的DNA,你就會明白它是一條如此勇敢的狗。

Stubby,被發現在耶魯大學裡能跟著走上一天，當時那裡是102步軍軍隊的訓練場所，stubby目睹了士兵的訓練場景，與他們成為了朋友。下士羅伯特·康羅伊對此狗也尤為喜歡，當他需至部隊集結投入戰役時，甚至把stubby也運往了法國前線，後來被指揮官發現，要求遣回stubby時，它竟然表現出向指揮官禮敬的姿態，彷彿受過訓練一般，希望指揮官將它留下。

終於，stubby被留在了前線，這意味著它也需要加入戰鬥。它這一呆就是18個月，防禦了4次進攻性戰鬥，以及17次戰役。第一次投入戰鬥是在1918年的四月，它一個月沒白天與黑夜得與士兵在前線奮戰，時刻保持警覺，為士兵提振精神。話說常在冰上走，怎能不濕鞋。Stubby在一次遇襲後的撤退過程中，德國士兵扔了一枚手榴彈，炸傷了stubby的前腿，之後就被送到後方治療。由於stubby在前線積極起到正面作用，復原後授予了條紋獎牌，並且重新讓它回到了戰場。

戰場上，stubby也深受芥子毒氣的毒害，為此士兵特地為它量身定製了防毒面具。但這次遭遇，對於stubby（或許對於士兵）未嘗不是一件好事，由於stubby已經接觸過芥子毒氣，所以對於該種毒氣有了一個很好的辨識度，大家知道狗的嗅覺是相當靈敏的，所以一旦發現情況，就能及時提醒士兵，挽救了許多生命。由於stubby及時發現戰壕中被困的士兵，由於它能先於人耳對於戰火有所警覺，所以能夠提醒人們迅速隱藏躲避，如此戰功赫赫，stubby也變得越來越有名。其中還有一件著名事件，就是它成功抓獲了一名德國間諜Argonn。由於stubby的出色表現，102步兵營的指揮官對stubby進行了晉陞，授予了它「中士」的軍銜。

當戰爭結束後，stubby也被下士羅伯特·康羅伊帶回家鄉。Stubby在當地也成了名狗，參與遊行，被授予獎章。但是在1926年時，它死於睡夢中，但是它傳奇的一生恐怕也是我們許多人所不能經歷地。
