MY RATING Summary

Sergeant Stubby might be the most decorated in the world, not just the United States.
Just by the look of old photos, it looks like Stubbs has seen and been through a lot during World War I. And I get touchy just looking at his eyes.

And I didn’t even know that he was the first mascot of the famous “Bull Dog” Mascot of Georgetown Hoyas.
