Amid World War I, a spirited stray puppy named Stubby finds an unlikely family among the soldiers of the 102nd infantry. With his short tail earning him the name Stubby, this brave pup integrates into the ranks, learning to salute and respond to bugle calls.
As the soldiers face the harsh realities of war, Stubby's unique abilities shine. He becomes a lifesaver during a gas attack, successfully identifying the danger and waking his comrades. Stubby's heroism extends to the trenches, where he captures an enemy soldier and fearlessly seeks out wounded allies on the battlefield.
By the war's end, Stubby had participated in 17 battles, earning him a place of honor. Bestowed with a lifetime membership in the American Legion and a gold medal for heroism, Stubby's legacy endures as a symbol of loyalty, bravery, and the unbreakable bond between soldiers and their four-legged comrade.
