About the book:
Before he became a national hero, he was just a stray dog on the streets of New Haven. But when a group of soldiers took him in and smuggled him aboard a ship bound for the trenches of France, Sergeant Stubby began a journey that would make him one of the most celebrated animals in American military history.

In Sergeant Stubby, acclaimed nonfiction author Ann Bausum brings to life the remarkable true story of a scrappy little dog who served bravely in World War I. From warning his unit of gas attacks to locating wounded soldiers on the battlefield, Stubby’s actions were nothing short of extraordinary. He became a beloved mascot, a morale booster, and the first dog in U.S. history to be given rank and decorated for heroism.

Told with vivid detail and a deep respect for both history and humanity, this is more than a tale of a dog at war—it’s a heartwarming account of loyalty, courage, and the powerful bond between people and animals in even the darkest of times.

Perfect for history buffs, animal lovers and readers of all ages looking for an inspiring true story.

Blacksburg Wine Lab is located at 223 Gilbert Street in Blacksburg, VA.
