Interesting! Military titles for merit are awarded not only to people. The war dog Stubby was awarded several medals and the rank of sergeant for his numerous exploits during the First World War. Served in the 106th Regiment, 26-1st US Infantry Division. Participated in 17 battles. Presumably he was a mixed breed: his possible parents were a Boston Terrier and a Pit Bull Terrier. Years of life: 1916 (or 1917)-1926. After the war, he became the mascot of the football team at the university where his owner John Conroy studied.
