Description
Judy: A Dog in a Million by Damien Lewis tells the remarkable story of Judy, a beautiful liver and white English pointer, and the only animal POW of WWII. Cherished and adored by British, Australian, American, and other Allied servicemen, Judy truly was a dog in a million.
Viewed largely as human by those who shared her extraordinary life, Judy's uncanny ability to sense danger, combined with her quick-thinking and impossible daring, saved countless lives. She was a close companion to men who became like a family to her, sharing in both the tragedies and joys they faced.
It was in recognition of the extraordinary friendship and protection she offered amidst the unforgiving and savage environment of a Japanese prison camp in Indonesia that she gained her formal status as a POW.
Judy's unique combination of courage, kindness, and fun repaid that honour a thousand times over. Her incredible story is one of the most heartwarming and inspiring tales you will ever read.
