When Roy Althouse rescued a little dog at Camp Hueneme in
California in 1943, it was the beginning of a wonderful story-one
that has finally been told by his daughter. During their enlistment
in the Navy Seabees, Althouse and his fellow members of the
Seventy-Fifth Naval Construction Battalion all came to love the dog
known as "Brownie." He was smuggled aboard the USS Del Brasil and
traveled with his master to nine different islands in the South
Pacific. Brownie became the official mascot of the Seventy-Fifth,
and at each island Althouse kept a record of his stay in a small
notebook. His letters home were often filled with the antics of his
beloved Brownie while also providing a glimpse of what life was
like for a Seabee during the war. Against all odds, Brownie
returned to the United States to live out his life with his best
friend in a little town called Bucyrus. Their story is one of
adventure, friendship, and love that spanned across oceans and
time.
