And have the tissues to hand, as you’ll need them!Ī puppy born in Shanghai started her life of adventure and courage by running away from her siblings, mother and human carers. If you only read one book in your life read this book. Judy’s unique combination of courage, kindness and fun repaid that honour a thousand times over and her incredible story is one of the most heartwarming and inspiring tales you will ever read. 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. She was a close companion to men who became like a family to her, sharing in both the tragedies and joys they faced. Viewed largely as human by those who shared her extraordinary life, Judy’s uncanny ability to sense danger, matched with her quick-thinking and impossible daring saved countless lives. Judy, a beautiful liver and white English pointer, and the only animal POW of WWII, truly was a dog in a million, cherished and adored by the British, Australian, American and other Allied servicemen who fought to survive alongside her. The impossibly moving story of how Judy, World War Two’s only animal POW, brought hope in the midst of hell.
