Always good to see the faithful dogs of the Civil War remembered! They did so much to help raise soldiers' spirits, just as dogs still do for American soldiers today.

Dog Jack is a beloved painting for the collection and a popular stop for youth and adult tours alike. Jack, originally a stray bull terrier, was the mascot for the Niagara Vol. Fire Company on Penn Avenue and was enlisted in the 102nd Pa. Vol. Regiment during the Civil War. Jack fought alongside soldiers. It is said that he was able to follow bugle calls of his unit. A valiant soldier, he was was wounded three times and captured twice, once later exchanged for a Confederate soldier at Belle Isle, Virginia. On December 23, 1864, Jack disappeared in Frederick, Maryland. (Information on his background was collected from the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum and this Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
