This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Sgt. Stubby: One Decorated Dog-- Part 3
After the war, Sgt. Stubby was marched in many parades. Everyone wanted to see the hero dog they had read so much about in the newspapers. He met presidents Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge and Warren G. Harding.
Starting in 1921, Sgt. Stubby attended Georgetown University Law Center with master Robert Conroy and became the football team's mascot. Stubby would be given the football at half time and he'd entertain the audience by pushing the ball around the field.
When he died in 1926, he was stuffed and currently on display at the Price of Freedom: Americans At War exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C..
