Cappy, Devil Dog

Cappy, Devil Dog, is a Doberman that saved hundreds of lives during the Battle of Guam. An unsuspecting camp of sleeping marines would have fallen prey to an enormous advancing Japanese force were it not for Cappy’s intervention. He unfortunately succumbed to wounds suffered during the subsequent battle, and was the first of the Devil Dogs to die in battle on Guam. A statue of Cappy is situated there, overlooking the National War Dog Cemetery and Memorial. Our miniature depicts him with his handler, PFC Allen Jacobson.
