One night, a Doberman sentry named Cappy was standing guard over 250 sleeping Marines when he detected the presence of the Japanese. In fact, an enormous force of Japanese troops was advancing on the unsuspecting camp when Cappy alerted his men. The heroic action of Cappy saved the lives of 250 men, but Cappy was injured in the ensuing battle, as was his handler, PFC Allen Jacobson. Jacobson himself refused to leave the battle or be treated for his injuries until Cappy had been evacuated. Sadly, Cappy later succumbed to his injuries, making him the first Devil Dog to be killed in battle during the fighting in Guam. He wasn’t the last. Sixty war dogs were deployed to Guam and twenty-five of them died in action. Twenty more suffered injuries.

A Statue of Cappy Overlooks the National War Dog Cemetery

Cappy is buried on Guam, along with the Devil Dogs that died with him. Today, the Naval Base in Guam is home to the National War Dog Cemetery and Memorial, thanks to the efforts of William Putney, the commanding officer of the 3rd War Dog Platoon, who was dismayed that the burial plots of the Devil Dogs were all but abandoned. In the 1980s, Putney began lobbying for the establishment of a war dog memorial and initiated fundraising efforts for the creation of the National War Dog Cemetery. The buried remains of Cappy and the other fallen war dogs were relocated to a site on Guam’s naval base. On the 50th anniversary of the Second Battle of Guam – July 21, 1994, the National War Dog Cemetery and Memorial were officially dedicated. A bronze statue of the ever-vigil Cappy, created by artist Susan Bahary of California, sits on top of the memorial. Bahary named her statue “Always Faithful”, a translation of the United States Marine Corps’ motto “Semper Fi.” It is a fitting tribute to Cappy and his fellow Devil Dogs of the Marines for their faithful and loyal service to their country, and a special nod to Karl Dobermann, whose efforts to breed a formidable guard dog led to the development of the Doberman breed.

In remembrance this Memorial Day.
