One day in July 1918, American doughboy Sgt. Jimmy Donovan befriended a stray dog on the streets of Paris. Donovan named the dog Rags, and he went on to become the mascot of the entire First Division of the American Expeditionary Force. But Rags was more than a mascot. At the battle of Soissons, at the Saint-Mihiel Offensive, and in the bloody battle of the Meuse-Argonne, Rags learned to carry messages through gunfire, locate broken communications wires for repair, and alert soldiers to incoming shells.
