As mascots, messengers, rat-catchers and even spies, animals have long marched into war alongside servicemen and women. Dogs, horses, cats (even birds, camels and elephants) have saved thousands of lives through instinct, intelligence, courage and devotion. Like Jet, the dog who searched through ruins during the Blitz bombings to find survivors, or Sergeant Stubby, the dog who caught a spy. Engaging, uplifting and deeply moving, this book tells the stories of these brave, animal heroes.
