    Soldiers and Sailors say the story of Harvey and his owner sparked the development of their annual Veterans' Mental Health Fair.

    Captain Daniel M. Stearns was a Berea native and Harvey's owner. The two fought in the Battle of Franklin during the Civil War.

    Harvey was a comfort dog to other soldiers and helped Stearns through what is modern-day post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    Harvey's statue is a recast of the one that is currently in the visitor's center of the battle of Franklin Trust in Franklin, Tennesee.
