À propos de cet audio

After being bombed and shipwrecked repeatedly while serving for several wild and war-torn years as a mascot of the World War II Royal Navy Yangtze river gunboats the Gnat and the Grasshopper, Judy ended up in Japanese prisoner of war camps in North Sumatra. Along with locals as slave labor, the American, Australian, and British POWs were forced to build a 1,200-mile single-track railroad through the most horrifying jungles and treacherous mountain passes. Like the one immortalized in the film The Bridge on the River Kwai, this was the other death-railroad building project where POWs slaved under subhuman conditions.

In the midst of this living hell was a beautiful and regal-looking liver and white English pointer named Judy. Whether she was scavenging food to help feed the starving inmates of a hellish Japanese POW camp or by her presence alone bringing inspiration and hope to men, she was cherished and adored by the Allied servicemen who fought to survive alongside her. From the author of The Dog Who Could Fly and the coauthor of Sergeant Rex and It's All About Treo comes one of the most heartwarming and inspiring tales you will ever hear.

I enjoyed this book and the performance of the narrator so much that for the first time I listened to the same audiobook 3 times. I also learned more from this audiobook about China-Japanese War and World War II in Asia, and about the dogs than from any other source. Fantastically well written and narrated book. Thank you.

The best war story and brilliant literature

I really enjoyed this book especially being on the theme or an extraordinary dog. I learned lots of things about WW2 in a part of the world I did not know much about.

Terrific story
