Military Mascots Were Real Animals
The Real Animals of Submarines & Ships
When I wrote the book it was intended for beginning readers ages 5-9. Soon after it came out, I found out people much older were interested in the mascots. So, I decided to post some of my resources and my mystery list to see if I could get some help with identifying some of these animals.
Mystery Mascots
There are some mascots we have pictures for but don't have their names. If you can help, please message me.
The Sterlet SS-392 had at least 2 Mascots. Stern Planes and a mystery dog who was at a ship's party.
The Sennet SS-408 had Cosmo the Penguin and a mystery dog who needed more sunshine, so they gave him to the B-29 Bombers.
I am sure I will have more mysteries so standby, there will be more added.

When I was contacted by several adults about my childrens' book on military mascots, I thought I would post some resources for people older than 9! I will be posting them here.
I will continue to post more resources here. Stay tuned.
