No better friend : a man, a dog, and their incredible true story of friendship and survival in World War II Cover Image Book

No better friend : a man, a dog, and their incredible true story of friendship and survival in World War II / Robert Weintraub.

Weintraub, Robert, (author.).

Summary:

Tells the incredible true story of Frank Williams, a radarman in Britain's Royal Air Force, and Judy, a purebred pointer, who met as prisoners of war during World War II. Judy, who became the war's only official canine POW, was a fiercely loyal dog who sensed danger-warning her fellow prisoners of imminent attacks and, later, protecting them from brutal beatings. Frank and Judy's friendship, an unbreakable bond forged in the worst circumstances, is one of the great recently uncovered stories of World War II.
