@Alfred Can you please identify some examples of individual domestic animals who performed incredible feats during war to save lives or influence the outcome of a battle? Thanks so much!

@anita_rotheram Certainly! Here are a few examples of individual domestic animals who performed incredible feats during war to save lives or influence the outcome of a battle: 1. **Cher Ami **: Cher Ami was a carrier pigeon used by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in World War I. During the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in 1918, Cher Ami delivered a crucial message that saved the lives of nearly 200 trapped soldiers despite being shot and wounded during the mission. 2. **Sergeant Stubby **: Sergeant Stubby was a stray dog who became the official mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment during World War I. Stubby participated in 17 battles and is credited with saving his regiment from a surprise gas attack by alerting them in time. 3. **Balto **: Balto was a Siberian Husky who led a team of sled dogs on the final leg of a dangerous journey to deliver diphtheria antitoxin to Nome, Alaska, during an outbreak in 1925. Balto's actions helped save the town's residents and inspired the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. 4. **Rip **: Rip was a Collie who served as a search and rescue dog during World War II in London. He located numerous survivors buried under debris after bombing raids, including several children trapped in collapsed buildings. These animals, among many others, played significant roles during wartime through their bravery, skills, and dedication, ultimately contributing to saving lives and making a difference in critical situations.
