A stray dog on the streets of Connecticut, until he adopted a young soldier, Robert Conroy and became the mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, then crossed the Atlantic as a stowaway, served alongside American troops in 17 battles in France, and came home a true American hero.
Stubby Salutes 250 years of animal partners that have served including Paul Revere’s Horse, of course.
At a time when families are looking for stories that inspire rather than divide, this movie offers something needed: a true American story that children can understand and parents can trust.
For Veterans, Military families and First Responders, the film honors service and companionship. For communities, it offers a story people can gather around. For children, it introduces history through the bond between a young soldier and a little dog who found a place to belong.
By the time Stubby died in 1926, The New York Times had published an obituary for him — a rare tribute to any animal and a sign of how deeply this little dog had entered America’s heart as America’s Mascot. For more see Smithsonian Museum https://www.si.edu/object/nmah_439710
