Dog Breeds Did You Know ... ?
In the early 1900s, the Pit Bull was one of the most popular breeds in the U.S.; they were considered THE All American Family Dog. They were used in posters to recruit soldiers and sell war bonds, Petey was popular pup on the show Our Gang, and a Pit Bull mix named Sgt. Stubby (in photo) was the first dog to be awarded Army medals- he survived being wounded twice in combat and saved his entire platoon by warning them of a poison gas attack. Pit Bulls continue to be brave and loving family dogs today.
