This story about dog who was q hero
Is worth reading. Moustache was French
dog, and the story of his heroism is told in
The Outlook:
He managed To attach himself to a com.
pany of grenadiers who were about to start
for Italy. His new friends trained him TO
carry gun, to act as sentinel and to keep
step. 1t was in Italy, In the vicinity OF
Alessandria, that Moustache rendered his
first distinguished service to the French
army.
\ detachment OF Austrians was con.
cealed in a neighboring valley and ad
vanced at night to surprise the French
men. The plan would have succeeded IL
Moustache, going his rounds with his nose
to the wind, had not scented the enemy
and given the alarm. He uttered cries OF
warning, and when the Austrians found
that they were detected they beat a retreat.
Again, some time before the battle OF
Austerlitz, the dog did valuable service.
A spy had penetrated into the French
camp and had deceived every one, so that
he would have returned 10 tell all he had
learned if Moustachc had not again been
on the scene He scented an enemy and
hurled himself upon the intruder with a
howl. His warning was not disregarded.
His friends had faith in his sagacity, and
the stranger-was put on trial and convict
ed of being spy.
In one battle Moustache saw the stand.

and dying. He tried To defend the body
and lost n paw in the encounter. But
