Publisher Description

Five incredible true stories of canine bravery in wartime.

For as long as dogs have lived alongside man, they have saved their lives in wartime with their bravery, loyalty and companionship. From the WWII dog that was adopted by the Royal Navy as a mascot, torpedoed, shot at and registered as a prisoner of war, to the more recent heroics of explosives dog, Sadie, in the Afghanistan conflict where she saved hundreds of military and civilian lives, this is a collection of the most incredible and heartwarming accounts from around the world.

Capturing the fear, uncertainly, determination and undying devotion of these amazing dogs and the young soldiers, sailors and airmen they befriended, these are truly inspirational tales of loyalty and companionship beyond all boundaries.

The Dog that Saved My Life

This was my first read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed each story! Being a quadriplegic of 44 years, I had a service dog in my possession for approximately seven years until she's passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. We were the best of friends and your dad hit me harder than any immediate family member. We have our own stories and I will cherish them until the day I die myself and be with her once again.
