Skippy was a Morgan horse who served with the Cleveland, OH police department in the late 30s and early 40s. His rider was patrolman Tony Welling. In 1942, Skippy saved 20 circus horses during a fire by dodging flames so his rider could grasp the peg rope of the lead mare and lead them to safety. His story can be found in Marguerite Henry's Album of Horses.
