Only a Dog - A Story of the Great War - Paperback

by Bertha Whitridge Smith (Author)

Voted one of the greatest dog books of all time!

Based on a true story from the First World War, but retold through the dog's eyes.

A lost Irish Terrier find himself in 'No Man's Land' in Flanders. Shot at by the Germans, he feels terrified and alone until a British sniper, risking his own life, crawls out to carry the injured dog to safety.

From that time on, the soldier and the canine who is soon-to-be christened 'Army' become inseparable. When the soldier dies, little Army is inconsolable and remains by his master's grave, refusing to leave, comforted only by the smell of his master's coat.
