What dog served as an official military private in the US Army and participated in over a dozen campaigns across North Africa and Europe?
Answer
Rags, a mixed-breed terrier found in a Paris gutter in 1918 (WW1) — the WW2 equivalent was Sergeant Reckless, a mare who served as an ammunition carrier in Korea, but dogs like Chips served in WW2 in North Africa and Sicily
Did You Know?
Chips, a German Shepherd-Collie mix, attacked an Italian machine gun nest in Sicily and forced four soldiers to surrender. He received a Silver Star and a Purple Heart, though the military later rescinded them after objections that it was inappropriate to give military honors to an animal.
