Philly (dog)
Philly (1917 - 1932) was a stray female dog who served on the front lines of World War I with Company A of the 315 Infantry, 79th Division. Smuggled into France, she served at Montfaucon, Nantillois, Troyon and LaGrande Montagne before returning to the United States. Her ability as a guard dog made her a heroine of the troops and resulted in a bounty of 50 deutschemarks on her head by the Germans. She participated in the victory parade and lived until 1932. Following her death, she was mounted and remained at the 315th's headquarters until its disbandment in 1995. Philly was donated to the Philadelphia History Museum and has occasionally been on display for the viewing public.

Philly was a stray mixed breed dog that served with Company A of the 315th Infantry of the 79th Division in World War I.〔 On September 27, 1917, she was found by a soldier returning from Camp Meade and became the mascot of Company A.〔 The dog was smuggled on board when it came time for the unit's deployment and was shipped to France where she saw action at Montfaucon, Nantillois, Troyon and LaGrande Montagne.〔
Throughout her service, she was wounded and gassed, but proved to be a capable guard dog. Her warnings of German sneak attacks resulted in a bounty of 50 deutschemarks for her death and her being hailed a hero of the American soldiers.〔 While in France, she also gave birth to four pups.〔 After the war was won, Philly marched with the 315th in the victory parade.〔 Sgt. Charles Hermann formerly adopted Philly and her four pups.〔 Philly would continue to attend reunions with the unit.〔〔
