Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War I, while stationed overseas in France with the United States Army, Private James Donovan literally stumbles upon a small dog cowering on the streets of Paris. Named Rags for his disheveled appearance, the little stray quickly finds a home with Donovan and a place in his heart. Although the Army did not have an official canine division, Rags accompanies Donovan to the battlefield, making himself a useful companion delivering messages and providing a much-appreciated morale boost to the soldiers. News about Rags spreads and soon the little dog's battlefield exploits become the stuff of legend. But during a fierce battle near the end of the war, both Rags and Donovan are wounded. Severely injured, Donovan is sent back to the United States. And the little dog with the big heart refuses to leave his best friend's side.
Book Synopsis From Stray Dog to World War I Hero by : Grant Hayter-Menzies
Download or read book From Stray Dog to World War I Hero written by Grant Hayter-Menzies and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the streets of Paris one day in July 1918, an American doughboy, Sgt. Jimmy Donovan, befriended a stray dog that he named Rags. No longer an unwanted street mutt, Rags became the mascot to the entire First Division of the American Expeditionary Force and a friend to the American troops who had crossed the Atlantic to fight. Rags was more than a scruffy face and a wagging tail, however. The little terrier mix was with the division at the crucial battle of Soissons, at the Saint-Mihiel offensive, and finally in the blood-and-mud bath of the Meuse-Argonne, during which he and his guardian were wounded. Despite being surrounded by distraction and danger, Rags learned to carry messages through gunfire, locate broken communications wire for the Signal Corps to repair, and alert soldiers to incoming shells, saving the lives of hundreds of American soldiers. Through it all, he brought inspiration to men with little to hope for, especially in the bitter last days of the war. From Stray Dog to World War I Hero covers Rags's entire life story, from the bomb-filled years of war through his secret journey to the United States that began his second life, one just as filled with drama and heartache. In years of peace, Rags served as a reminder to human survivors of what held men together when pushed past their limits by the horrors of battle. Watch a book trailer.

And when a runner runs past his yard, followed by another, and another, and another, Dozer decides to follow and see what is happening. In May 2011, unbeknownst to his owner, Dozer slipped out of his yard in Highland, Maryland, enticed by the sight of people running past. The runners were participating in the Maryland Half Marathon, a race benefitting the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center. Dozer joined the 2,000 runners in the race, inspiring everyone along the 13-mile race course. By the time his adventure was over and he was reunited with his family, Dozer's "Run" encouraged thousands of pledges in support of the Greenebaum Cancer Center.

Download or read book The Eternal Soldier written by Allison Crotzer Kimmel and published by little bee books. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the untold story of Sallie, a dog whose life as a soldier began in a basket and ended as a Civil War hero. The pup barked and nearly tumbled out of the basket. We laughed, and immediately we knew--she was one of us already. Brindle fur with streaks of brown and black swirled all over her like a patchwork quilt. She was as pretty as an apple tree in full bloom. We called her Sallie. During the Civil War, Sallie came to the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry as a gift from a townsperson, but she quickly became a favorite among her men. She marched with them from battle to battle, always guarding the unit's colors, and even met President Lincoln. And over three long days at the battle of Gettysburg, Sallie stayed with the dead, guarded their bodies, and nearly died herself from hunger and thirst as the conflict raged on. Though she fell in battle, her loyalty was rewarded years later when her men met again on the battlefield at Gettysburg to erect her likeness in bronze so that she might eternally guard them. This beautiful story about a dog's dedication and loyalty shows that bravery comes in all shapes and forms!

Book Synopsis Downward Sizing Dog by : Karen Lena Izzo
Download or read book Downward Sizing Dog written by Karen Lena Izzo and published by Small Dog Press, LLC. This book was released on 2023-01-28 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just try typing “are small dogs smart…” into its search bar, and Google jumps in prematurely, finishing your sentence for you with suggestions like: “dumb?” “yappy?” “annoying?” Well, no. No, Google, they’re not. We’ve got to say it: Small dogs deserve more respect. If you’ve ever wondered why people love their small dogs like their kids or wished you had a good comeback for the opinionated big dog snob next door when he insults your ten-pound Pekingese, you’ve picked up the right book. In this big defense of small dogs, Downward Sizing Dog proves it’s just not true that big dogs are better dogs or that small dogs are yappy, snappy, annoying, and probably unhousebroken. Weaving real-life stories with new research on the social intelligence and transformative nature of small dogs, Downward Sizing Dog celebrates the powerful canine beings packaged in perfectly-proportioned small-dog frames. With its investigation into every aspect of small dog life, Downward Sizing Dog shows that small dogs deserve not merely more respect; they deserve a place in our families and on our favorite furniture.

Book Synopsis Rags, the Dog Who Went to War by : Jack Rohan
Download or read book Rags, the Dog Who Went to War written by Jack Rohan and published by Diggory Press Limited. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true story from the First World War of Rags, the amazingly clever terrier. It is a tale of devotion, courage under fire, and astonishing canine intelligence. A hungry and homeless stray is stumbled over one dark, foggy night in a Paris alley by a lost soldier A.W.O.L. The noise alerts the Military Police and the soldier, Donovan, quickly talks his way out of a tight spot by claiming he is on a mission to find his division's dog mascot, and as they were leaving next day for the Front he didn't have time to get a pass. As the canny dog co-operatively plays along, Donovan is believed, and the terrier he names 'Rags' becomes mascot to the U.S. First Division. Rags repays Sergeant Donovan's and the Army's kindness many times over. As well as being a devoted friend, he undoubtedly saves many men's lives. His alertness to the sound of approaching shells warns of danger, he delivers vital messages, alerts stretcher bearers to the whereabouts of the wounded, and with his friendly, cheeky nature bucks up many a flagging soldier. While delivering a crucial message at the Argonne Campaign, Rags is nearly killed: his gas mask is ripped off by the force of an explosion and he is badly gassed. He is also blinded in one eye by shrapnel, his ear is mangled, and his paw wounded. However, Rags still gets the message through, collapsing into unconsciousness on arrival. This is Rags', the amazing terrier's story during the war and afterwards as he achieves celebrity war dog hero status.
