In Darwin in 1942: Gunner’s barking alerted an entire Air Force base of impending air raids, well before the enemy planes appeared on radar. Following an ambush, Sarai the explosive detection dog was held captive by the Taliban for over a year, before heading home a hero. And when 135,000 horses left Australia for the First World War, why was General Bridges’ charger Sandy the only one to return home?
Drawing from first-hand sources and interviews with those who were there, Anthony Hill brings to life the loyalty and courage of these animals, and the love their soldiers felt for them.
