Via Lorain Animal Clinic:

Update 1/03/13: Herbie had a very special visitor today. Dick Goddard came to visit! Watch him on Fox 8 News! Dick Goddard brought him Frosty Paws ice cream, dog treats and a doggie bed. Herbie got lots of love today! ♥

Via Doc Rick Broz:
1-2-2013: stopped in to see the Herbster. He was resting, having already had breakfast and a walk outside. No real change in his condition, just slowly getting stronger. There are no plans to euthanize him, nor any current plans for further treatment other than getting him stronger. Though his cancer is un-treatable, he could live quite a long time before it causes him trouble. So that's where we stand today. Oh, yeah, he likes McDonald's sausage biscuits.

Sgt. Stubby: America's 1st Bully Hero!

In response to World War I, members of the First Company Governor's Foot Guard were activated and inducted into the 102nd Infantry Battalion of the 26th "Yankee" Division along with members of Connecticut's other Organized Militia units and numerous volunteers. During their training on the grounds of Yale University prior to deployment, they unexpectedly added a soldier to their company. Found by then-Private John Conroy, Stubby was a brindle patched puppy of unknown descent with a short tail from which he received his name. As the soldiers became familiar with army life, so did Stubby. Stubby became familiar with all of the bugle calls, the drill marching routines, and the routines of life in camp, even learning to give a dog's version of a salute. Stubby would would put his right paw on his right eyebrow when a salute was executed by others around him. Stubby's effect on the soldiers around him as well as his dedication to training and his ability to salute earned him the right to remain in the camp, even though animals were not allowed.
