  • Personal Narrative: Stubby Hero Dog

    125 Words  | 1 Pages

    The central idea of Sgt. Stubby Hero dog of WW1 is that a dog can be far more useful than just a mascot, he can be a loyal friend.

Later in the text it says, “The dog could locate wounded Americans on the battlefield by listening for the specific sounds of English amid the fracas. He would stay and bark until the medics came ,...” This is a example of how he was loyal to the soldiers.

I can remember making a Christmas list of all the things I wanted that year, and every year the same thing that I wanted had said “puppy” with it underlined so that my mother knew which was my favorite on the list. Every year no surprise, I didn’t find a dog. I never understood why I never received one.
