The Story of Mutt, the French Bulldog of WWI: During World War I, many dog breeds participated in multiple tasks that would be deemed unusual in today’s modern wars. Among them are the bulldogs that pulled carts with machine guns to the other end, while others provide supplies. I recently stumbled upon a brave dog who served the US military in World War 1. That is Mutt, the French Bulldog of WWI, who worked as a trench messenger – From the famous book “War Dogs: A History of Loyalty and Heroism,” comes this description of Mutt – “Mutt’ a “trench runner’ Frenchie delivered cigarettes and gave his friendship to the soldiers.
You know, normally dogs provided psychological comfort, even if it is just for a few moments. Mutt Bulldog was badly wounded twice but could not stop providing energy to front-line troops and he also spent most of WW1 boosting the morale of the US Army Engineers.

Mutt, the French Bulldog of WWI, was a real companion, as it provided many services, like comfort, delivering the goods, finding wounded soldiers on the battlefield, pulling and pushing war weapons, sending messages between the lines, sniffing opposition positions, and battalion mascots.
Mutt brought happiness to the faces of many soldiers in the worst-ever war. Just imagine, how difficult it is for a dog to provide supplies on the battlefield. That is an awesome job he had given in a horrific time in humankind’s history. He proved Mutt was a loveable, faithful, and loving companion.
