  • Personal Narrative: Stubby Hero Dog

    125 Words  | 1 Pages

    The central idea of Sgt. Stubby Hero dog of WW1 is that a dog can be far more useful than just a mascot, he can be a loyal friend. I know this because in the text it said, “Stubby became ultra-sensitive to its odor and was able to run through the trenches, barking and biting soldiers awake before an attack.” This shows that Stubby helped warn the soldiers that they should get up and prepare for attack. Later in the text it says, “The dog could locate wounded Americans on the battlefield by listening for the specific sounds of English amid the fracas. He would stay and bark until the medics came ,...” This is a example of how he was loyal to the soldiers.

    If I were to describe my life as a metaphor, I would say that it would be a dog that only knows the world within its bounds. Maybe a little like Courage the Cowardly Dog as well if I looked to the symbolic aspect of it. At home the world is normal and serene, yet the moment something passes through or you leave the house things can be skewed.
