Description
Judy: A True Hero of World War II. Damien Lewis tells the remarkable story of Judy, an English pointer who became a symbol of hope and inspiration to Allied servicemen during World War II. After being bombed and shipwrecked multiple times while serving as a mascot for Royal Navy gunboats, Judy was captured by the Japanese and forced to work in a prisoner-of-war camp in North Sumatra. In one of the most infamous death-railroad projects of the war, Judy's presence brought comfort and inspiration to the men who were forced to build a 1,200-mile single-track railroad through treacherous jungle terrain. Her bravery and quick thinking saved countless lives, earning her recognition as a prisoner-of-war in her own right. This heartwarming story is a testament to the enduring power of friendship and loyalty, and serves as a reminder of the often-overlooked contributions made by animals during times of war.
