Sergeant Stubby (1916 – March 16, 1926) was a dog and the unofficial mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment and was assigned to the 26th (Yankee) Division in World War I. He served for 18 months and participated in 17 battles and four offensives on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, found and comforted the wounded, and allegedly once caught a German soldier by the seat of his pants, holding him there until American soldiers found him.[2] His actions were well-documented in contemporary American newspapers.[3][4][5]
Stubby has been called the most decorated war dog of the Great War and the only dog to be nominated and promoted to sergeant through combat.[6] Stubby's remains are in the Smithsonian Institution.[3][4][6]

Yes, it seems (as far as I know) that no one was killed or injured in this particular instance. This young woman's attitude is just inspiring to me (and maybe others), that minutes after an attack on her Kyiv neighborhood, she is back to work with an extraordinarily positive attitude. Talk about fantastic coping.

If you are a bit sad and want to frown, watch this video from a coffee shop in Kyiv, Ukraine....
