Sinbad (dog)
Sinbad (born ca. 1937, died 30 December 1951) was a mixed-breed dog that was one of two animals to be classified as non-commissioned officers by an arm of the United States military, rather than property, prior to the enactment of regulations to prohibit such (the other being Sergeant Stubby USA, WWI) after being enlisted by the creative crew of . Prior to and after an official retirement, Sinbad was assigned the rank of K9C or "Chief Dog" - equivalent to Chief Petty Officer. At the time of the biography of Sinbad written by George Foley, no other member of the United States Coast Guard had yet been the subject of a published biography. The dog was at sea on the ''Campbell'' for 11 years including combat in World War II that became widely publicized as part of the homefront campaign.

Sinbad's birth is not recorded, but he was obtained by Chief Boatswain's Mate A. A. "Blackie" Rother of the USCGC ''George W. Campbell'', who intended the dog as a gift for a girlfriend. She did not take him in due to a restriction against pets in her apartment building, leaving Rother with the dog as he returned from liberty in 1937. 〔CGCVA, p 100〕〔Foley, p 5〕 No crewman would take the dog, leaving him a stray without an owner, but most wanted him to remain on board.〔 Foley, P.20〕 To justify enlistment, eliminating the need for the dog to have a master, the crew said that the dog displayed the attributes of a sailor by drinking coffee,〔Foley, p 21〕 whiskey with beer chasers at port bars,〔Dumas, Joe; "SINBAD, USCG (Ret.), K9C (Chief Petty Officer, Dog)",Frequently Asked Questions, U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office〕 having regular and general quarters duty stations, and generally demonstrating seamanship.〔Foley(2), p.32〕 According to the Coast Guard and several published articles, he was enlisted into the service with his pawprint on enlistment papers. 〔 As Foley notes, the dog was assigned his own service and Red Cross identification numbers,〔Foley p 86〕 service record, and bunk. He was also recorded as a member of the Society of Polar Explorers.〔Foley(2), p 8〕 Being prone to the indiscretions of both a canine and a sailor, Sinbad was subject to Captains Mast on two occasions,〔 and was promoted and demoted in rank on several occasions.〔Foley, p 118〕 Sinbad ended his time at sea with the rank K9C Chief Dog and comensurate pay rate. 〔〔Foley cover notes〕〔 Barnegat Light Museum display on Sinbad〕〔Karch, Mary, Sinbad at Barnegat, http://www.mikewalling.com/books/barnegat.shtml and also several references in Foley to Sinbad's pay〕
