Have and or will you be making a video on Rags?

[@williamrogers9918]

Imagine being outranked by your dog. That's one badass dog

[@robertpaulsen969]

I'm pretty sure all military animals are higher ranks than most people.

[@williamrogers9918]

robert paulsen I mean they all start out as private but I honestly don't doubt it

[@shyliabakkala3358]

Uhh I guess your right like one of the privates would be like why is a dog a sergeant? The lieutenant hes the best man in 102nd private the fu

[@merelyhere2603]

[@MartinKelly-bx6ft]

I wouldn't mind to be outranked by a dog

[@rickuslastname6305]

It makes me happy Stubby's trick was able to woo the C.O. Animals are awesome

[@MartinKelly-bx6ft]

The only thing that would have made stubby story better is if he pissed in a German soldier's helmet and then said German Soldier put his helmet back on the realized I do is now covered in dog pissed

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

This dog's story was really touching. Just being himself he was a hero, inspiration and comfort to many. If this was a movie I would watch it. Thank you Simon!💚✌

[@darkangel21892]

that girl in okc It is a movie, it came out last month lol

darkangel21892 cool thanks! I will look for it👍

[@ghostmarine1036]

Being himself lol hes a dog

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Ghostmarine10 Exactly! He was just a stray dog. Not being a human he had no ulterior motives. He just acted on instinct and did what he was trained to do. ✌😄

[@sgthans577]

I give you a salute sgt stubby

[@patriot1525]

you wouldn't salute him though

[@spinkbonk]

Goodest boy

[@aydenhernandez2572]

No...the beestest boy.

[@inisipisTV]

Sargeant Stubby is being honored with a sculpture in Conneticut veteran's memorial park today.

[@erasmorodriguez8181]

The goodest boy ever.

[@Demonrose64]

Stubby is the best little bean. Such a good dog.

[@sethgrasse9082]

A dog that got a purple heart. Wow.

[@kathy08205]

The MWD, Military Working Dogs, have saved MANY soldiers throughout the years and Stubby being the first MWD was recognized for just that. Unfortunately, the MWD of the Vietnam era were not so fortunate as most, if not all were considered by the military to be excessive equipment and left in Vietnam. I have had the pleasure of speaking to many dog handlers who were there and to this day they grieve for their battle buddies. Today MWD are brought home and are reunited, if possible, with their handlers.

[@daltonriser1125]

oh my god the dog is able to give a salute that is so damn cute

[@msssmouse]

good dog

[@Aerospace_Gaming]

When you mentioned the medals stubby got, you forgot the Iron Cross from that spy he captured

[@starspawn507]

“Stubby received his first injury” NOOOOO “He made a full recovery.” Oh thank gods

[@MartinKelly-bx6ft]

He was the unkillable dog

[@MrEpic786]

So, privates had to be in parade rest while addressing that dog? Damn!

[@sadams12345678]

It could have been worse, it could have been "Lt. Stubby"

[@puellanivis]

“Who’s a good boy, Sir? You’re a good boy, sir!”

[@DieNetaDie]

Davie Crockett He earned it though and have a good day

[@MrEpic786]

I'm a simple man, I see Sgt. Stubby I like.

[@Katekyo504]

What a good boy he was.

[@degustablegerbil]

Make a video on Cher Ami, the most decorated carrier pigeon of WWI!!!

[@OldMusicFan83]

Cher Ami is also in the Smithsonian. Not far from SGT Stubby

[@Gasoline_swigger]

Stubby: The best boy. Rest in peace, you’ve done very well as a doggo- and I’m sure you’ve taught humanity a few things. I salute you, and i hope you bork in heaven.

[@jhomatubs4139]

Sgt Stubby, Sgt Reckless and Cher Ami will never be forgotten

[@lostplshelp]

Always nice to see TIFO in my notifications! I can already tell this will be an excellent video, as always!

[@TodayIFoundOut]

Thanks!

[@dailydogs31]

New recruit: general were do I go for my assignment General :go talk to sergeant stubby

[@densealloy]

3:33 with General of the Armies John J. Pershing. Highest General in USA history one of only 2 in history. The other was George Washington who was promoted posthumously as his retired rank. Pershing held the rank on active duty and created the 4 gold star insignia. Pershing commanded all American Expeditionary Forces in WW1.

[@joshbegley3498]

There was a bear in the Polish army in ww2, it's a pretty awesome story also. Simon and team, as always a wonderful presentation, and fascinating. I don't comment much, because they would all sound the same, you are all doing a wonderful job.

[@kiwibiird]

What a smart lil’ pupper he was

[@Stowneyo]

i actually would like to know more about his owner/trainer dogs can be smart but hiding a dog from the military and training it to salute among other feat is impressive

[@theapachevikingnomadfromhell]

The greatest dog ever, and by all accounts... a very good boy!! 🫡 🐕

[@jaspr1999]

What an awesome pup!!! Thank you for the video Simon!!!

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

This ain't your ordinary war dog...someone give Stubby some Scooby snacks.

[@vinisardagna]

That's a good boy

[@airbomb34]

He was the best boy!

[@RealtorDanHayden]

He was an early Boston’s Terrier while the breed was still bred for fighting.

[@rickeyryan303]

nope he wasn't

[@ryanmccarthy3908]

Idk man when he was visiting former President Wilson he looked awfully like a Pit, not that there aren’t obvious physical similarities between the two breeds. The SGT. looked a bit too stocky to be a Boston Terrier.

[@temptemp4174]

Thank you for your service sgt. Stubby

[@Ardjano234]

Yep, I misheard "Stubby went to study law"

[@DoubleMrE]

That dog is more of a “man” than most people I’ve met. I love you Sgt. Stubby!

[@epicscreenname989]

*DOG LIVED A FULLER LIFE AND ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE*

Writing a paper about this distinguished service dog. Good video!!!

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

All dogs are good bois. Stubby is best boi

[@hvonwolfenstein2638]

This information filled in one of those holes in my life I didn't even know needed filling! I've even owned a Hoya's hat before and didn't know who Stubby was - awesome dog!

[@neenanorto3399]

Love sgt stubby story.Thank you ,you made my year🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕

[@robertespinoza5958]

aww the dog outranked his owner lol he's gunna make him roal over and sit down xD

[@alexanderblackburn4520]

Stubby is also viewed as a boston terrier, boston terriers were a medium dog breed back in the day. Bostons haven't always been the 20 pound little bundles of love that they are now.

[@neatnoot214]

This would make a great movie. Make it with almost no speaking but just a dog innocently watching the things occurring around him. For example. Have him bark to wake up soldiers for a gas attack, and have the camera behind him while he watches all the soldiers panic in confusion, some grab masks, some grab rags, some of them fall down for no apparent reason. Then someone comes along wearing a mask and tries to calm him down while they put a mask on him, just petting him and telling him through his mask that its gonna be ok. Then they run off and he just lays down waiting for someone to play with him.

[@zunighacom]

More videos about heroic animals please. This video and the dogs in space video are the best ones. Brave puppers.

[@brendenlmao]

What inhuman would dislike this

[@cobeoe]

That dog is getting his own animated movie by Paramount

[@gaius_enceladus]

Amazing that he recognised the language of the enemy! Bright dog!

[@Tokz0]

number 15... Badass. Sgt. stubby was marked a badass @ birth.

[@user-kk2uu2rq7x]

Death: it's time to go Sgt. Stubby Sgt Stubby: was i a good boy? Death: no, I'm told you were the best.

[@avaranabraham8507]

He was invincible

[@billytrespassers3123]

My favorite story ever.

[@CrazyBikerGuy]

Dog got more medals than most veterans 😂

[@DragonFruitXVI]

Good boy.

The Best Boy

[@Hana.Behl-Lecter]

Proof that pibbles/mutts/rescues are the ultimate good dogs.

[@lowlyworm9323]

NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR OUR TROOPS 😤🐶🇺🇸

[@THLM-jo2yu]

Together with the pigeon "Cher Ami" one of the most memorable animals that served in WWI.

[@chadrock4859]

He looks part boston terrier

[@sarysa]

A shame the movie based on Stubby bombed. Here's hoping it has better marketing for the home release.

[@reconphil]

I think you mean 102nd Infantry Regiment, 26th Division (Yankee Division (YD))

[@Homerunprophet]

What a good soldier sgt stubby was

[@carolinemacrae6227]

Dna test from the stuffed body? I think plenty of Staffordshire bull terrier dna there.

[@Gojiro7]

I wonder if any soldier resented the dog for going home with more metals then he did.

[@hagamapama]

Probably a few, but Stubby earned every medal he got.

[@rickeyryan303]

Prob not most of thos men didn't care about medals they just wanted to get home alive..

[@TheGonnabesomebody]

That’s a good doggie

[@mjc0961]

Best good doggo

[@DanielAspajo9930]

And there is an animated movie about him, it is great I highly recommend it to everyone

[@RobynTapps]

That dog is a boston.. Not a pitbul..

[@Ziggletooth]

This is really close to the episode of animals in WW1 by the great war channel which featured this dog. Is that where you got this idea from? Also does this mean you no longer use Q.I for all your material...

[@empireman2867]

This needs to be made into a live action movie

[@christianrogers9439]

Aww how cute! Sgt Stubby: Parade rest fucker!

[@SoapFloater]

RIP Sgt. Stubby. I love you

[@MDMetal]

Yep, Sabaton needs to make a song about SGT Stubby. He was a high speed low drag good boy! Also, "pit bull" isn't a breed per se. There are several breeds that fall into the pit bull classification. Including bull terriers, the Staffordshire and American Staffordshire terriers. Stubby was a pittie.

[@PositivePits]

Now don't get me wrong Stubby was an awesome dog but from the book I read about him there are a couple things that, assuming the book was right, that this video got wrong, 1st the rank of Sergeant was not an official rank but one his men gave him, 2nd the medals on his coat belonged to his owner and the men of his company(I'm not sure I got this term right). There have been several pitbulls that have fought in wars and had their men dedicated to them like Stubby such as Sallie of the 11th Pennsylvania infantry who has a statue at gettysburg

[@blueduckmurrell8441]

You need to do one about SGT. Reckless

[@Bill_dabear257]

Looks like Simon is about to shed a tear in that thumbnail

[@riskvideos]

He was a good boy. I salute him.

[@ActuallyMelodyYT]

I like how you tried to spice up the thumbnail. I hope to see it in your future videos.

[@Kickboxingenthusiasts]

I love the fact he is a must who was found on the street. Ive always said that there is never dumb dogs just dumb owners.

[@throb9]

Yay for Sgt. Stubby!

[@rztrzt]

Here's another dog story for you, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Nuisance Just Nuisance was the only dog ever to be officially enlisted in the Royal Navy. He was a Great Dane who between 1939 and 1944 served at HMS Afrikander, a Royal Navy shore establishment in Simon's Town, South Africa.

[@georgecataloni4720]

What an underdog dog story!

[@brianplays3490]

Bruh he probably got wine flavored dog biscuits for finding the spy

[@R8V10]

He was an American Pit Bull Terrier.

[@viewer4327]

this video is great for my homework and for my entertainment

[@shawnthewolf7670]

The salute made me cringe. >~> Good doggo. X3

[@broken1394]

'Seargeant Stubby hero dog of WW1. A brave stray.' ⚘️🐕⚘️🙏

[@sakurakitsunestar]

You forgot to mention that as of earlier this year there is also a animated film about him as well “sgt. Stubby :an American hero”

[@davidbuschhorn6539]

Who's this Alex Popovitch person we never see? Daven Hiskey I've seen...

[@absolutemadlad5662]

"a symbol to the nation a hero to the world"

[@BigFrakkinOgre]

Good boy

[@Large_Sarge]

he looks like an american pitbull terrier. what an amazing dog!

[@ceooflovingthehomies9294]

Hecking good doggo did the Germans a hecking bamboozle! Even under fire the Germans couldn’t do SGT Stuby a frighten! :O

[@aquamarine9568]

What a good boy🐶😘

[@kevinslater4126]

Since you did a video about Stubby would you do one about Judy? The dog from WWII. She won a Dickin medal for bravery.
