War Dog

This title is a combination of an affectionate animal story (trustworthy, intelligent, well-trained and wonderfully loyal dog) and a war story (battles in France and Italy with bombs and bullets flying) and has all the ingredients to engage a great many readers of both sexes. Jet starts life as a poacher's dog, alert to every sound and command of her master. When he is sent to prison, she is requisitioned by the Army. Her talents are immediately recognised and she performs heroics in France, is wounded at Dunkirk and returns to this country to rescue bomb victims, before being sent into battle again where she is reunited with her master, rescuing him after he has been badly wounded.
