Sgt. Stubby: An Unlikely Hero (Autism Friendly Screening) (PG)

During a military parade in 1917 New Haven, Connecticut, wet-behind-the-ears US Army recruit Robert Conroy tosses food to a stray dog on the street. The mangy mutt follows Conroy – a member of the “Yankee” Division – to a nearby training ground where the animal charms fellow enlistees. Sergeant Casburn allows the dog, christened Stubby because of its tail, to stay as the regiment’s mascot and Conroy trains his four-legged companion to salute. The men ship out to France with Stubby in tow.
