Publisher Description
Dexter was a real horse that was first drafted into the U.S. Army during World War II and later served in the U.S. Navy at the Philadelphia Naval Home for disabled and retired sailors. His little known story was so touching that this fictional short story was written about him and his friendship with his pals at the naval home so many years ago.

A forgotten animal hero of WW2
Although this is a work of fiction, all names having been changed, it is a true story of a horse that brought comfort and meaning and therapy to many Navy men’s retirement lives.
As an Army horse originally, I think I can say to Dexter...
“At ease, Soldier”. Your work is done.
Outstanding
Best book i have ever read. The end was so tragic but after all Dexter had been through he he deserved peace at last. :):):):):):):):):):):):)
