Sergeant Stubby

How a Stray Dog and His Best Friend Helped Win World War I and Stole the Heart of a Nation

By: Ann Bausum

Narrated by: Pam Ward

Told for the first time, here is the story of a stray dog who eventually became affectionately known as Sergeant Stubby, the most famous war dog of World War I. Beloved award-winning children's author Ann Bausum brings her friendly writing style and in-depth research to her first book for adults.

Stubby's story begins in 1917 when America is about to enter the war. A stray dog befriends Private J. Robert "Bob" Conroy at the Connecticut National Guard camp at Yale University, and the two become inseparable, eventually crossing an ocean and going to war together. What follows is an epic tale of how man's best friend becomes an invaluable soldier on the front lines and in the trenches, a decorated war hero, and an inspiration to a country long after the troops returned home.

Great historical account of Stubby!

I picked this up after seeing the recent animated movie "Sgt. Stubby". Ann Bausum did some solid research for this audiobook. The author is very up-front about what she knows and what she can only assume in trying to fill in the blanks in Stubby's history and travels, which I appreciated. It really goes to show how much historical record-keeping has changed over time! It's a good way to get your feet wet with WWI history, too - well-scoped in reviewing major events while keeping most of its focus on Sgt. Stubby and Conroy.

In short, if a quick read about the WWI and post-war journeys of a soldier and his dog sounds interesting to you, I would definitely recommend this book!
