When Private Henry Hunt rescued a shaken little dog amidst a hail of bullets, he had little idea that this act of bravery would soon have him facing a disciplinary hearing. “I’ve asked a lot of people about the status of pets in the army,” said the Major, “it seems they’re more common than I thought… mostly dogs, but some cats, a donkey, a goat, even kangaroos… I might, repeat might, support a dog.”
Four Chistmases had passed since the world went to war in1914. Struggling to survive in the trenches, close to enemy lines, amid the terror of gunfire and the whine of warplanes, Kiwi soldier Henry Hunt finds the dog is not only a comfort to his fellow soldiers on the battlefields of France, but a great ratter, too. Maybe, together, they could survive this war…
