Patriotic Pals: Tails of civil War Dogs by Chris Stuckenschneider

Told by Chuck, a sensible Border Collie from Missouri, and his poodle sidekick Tilly, Patriotic Pals reveals little-known stories about hero dogs of the Civil War. Chuck and Tilly go on a multi-state road trip that starts in the key Union city of St. Louis. On their journey, they encounter legendary dogs from the war, including Abe Lincoln's beloved mutt Fido and a spotted terrier named Stonewall Jackson.

This beautifully illustrated children’s picture book depicts vivid scenes of past and present. Kids will learn plenty about the Civil War throughout—not just dates and locations but also the importance of canine cohorts as warriors, mascots, and, of course, man’s best friend.

Illustrated by Richard Bernal
