Description
From Stray Dog to World War I Hero covers Rags's entire life story, from the bomb-filled years of war through his secret journey to the United States that began his second life, one just as filled with drama and heartache. In years of peace, Rags served as a reminder to human survivors of what held men together when pushed past their limits by the horrors of battle.
Advance Praise
“Simply brilliant. An inspired storyteller. . . . Those who consider themselves dog lovers should read this book.”—Mary Elizabeth Thurston, author of The Lost History of the Canine Race
“Utterly charming, and if you love dogs, this will prove irresistible!”—Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of Dogs Never Lie about Love

“This is an exciting, well-written, and engrossing book with all the elements that a reader hopes for—adventure, heroism, love, loyalty, and encounters with celebrities and historically interesting people.
