My wife is once again suggesting a trip to the local shelter. Duke is a good boy, and he gets along with all other dogs, but would he be happy about sharing his home with another dog? We don't know.

Hero dog of WWI. I salute this dog! I saw him on Mysteries of the Museum tonight. :!)

He entered combat on February 5, 1918 at Chemin des Dames, north of Soissons, and was under constant fire, day and night for over a month. In April 1918, during a raid to take Seicheprey (Meurthe-et-Moselle), Stubby was wounded in the foreleg by the retreating Germans throwing hand grenades. He was sent to the rear for convalescence, and as he had done on the front was able to improve morale. When he recovered from his wounds, Stubby returned to the trenches.
After being gassed himself, Stubby learned to warn his unit of poison gas attacks, located wounded soldiers in no man's land, and — since he could hear the whine of incoming artillery shells before humans could — became very adept at letting his unit know when to duck for cover. He was solely responsible for capturing a German spy in the Argonne. Following the retaking of Château-Thierry by the US, the thankful women of the town made Stubby a chamoisParis with Corporal Conroy, Stubby saved a young girl from being hit by a car. At the end of the war, Conroy smuggled Stubby home.

They said it was a pit bull, probably a mix. Before pit bulls were bred to fight and were small, gentle dogs.

Here in Washington State, we just legalized marijuana (small amounts). So now, the new drug sniffer dogs aren't trained to alert to weed.

Here's a photo of one of the first graduates of that new training:

Stubby looks a lot like my Lola, who is a mix of English Bulldog and Boxer. She is small, but very compact and strong and smart as a whip.
