The extraordinary tale of survival and friendship between a man and a dog in World War II. Flight technician Frank Williams and Judy, a purebred pointer, met in the most unlikely of places: an internment camp in the Pacific. Judy was a fiercely loyal dog, with a keen sense for who was friend and who was foe, and the pair's relationship deepened throughout their captivity. When the prisoners suffered beatings, Judy would repeatedly risk her life to intervene. She survived bombings and other near-death experiences and became a beacon not only for Frank but for all the men, who saw in her survival a flicker of hope for their own. Judy's devotion to those she was interned with was matched by their love for her, which helped keep the men and their dog alive despite the ever-present threat of death by disease or the rifles of the guards. At one point, deep in despair and starvation, Frank contemplated killing himself and the dog to prevent either from watching the other die. But both were rescued, and Judy spent the rest of her life with Frank. She became the war's only official canine POW, and after she died at age fourteen, Frank couldn't bring himself to ever have another dog. Their story -- of an unbreakable bond forged in the worst circumstances -- is one of the great undiscovered sagas of World War II.

Please Consider Reading this BookI know you're reading lots of important stuff, works of literature, science, world affairs, and more. But if you read this you will be rewarded far beyond your investment in time and money.Judy, a pure-bred Pointer, was born in Shanghai in 1936, and was a witness to gruesome human history, as China, and then the world, descended into the horror of World War II. Judy is present for the fall of Singapore, watching for hours from the deck of the British gunboat "Grasshopper." She sees desperate people thronging the docks seeking escape from the advancing Japanese, and hears their screams as they are gunned down by Japanese fighters. This might have reinforced an already heightened sense that Judy had of the seriousness of her times.In her military environment, Judy had a succession of loving Chief Humans, and also enjoyed the affection of the entire crew. Respect increased as Judy developed useful military skills, for example warning of approaching enemy aircraft. As the situation deteriorates, Judy finds herself with a group fleeing the Japanese, first by boat, with the boat shot from under them; they are marooned, but escape to the island of Sumatra, and endure on-foot a 75 mile journey across it; but are finally captured by the Japanese.It's surprising that Judy survived even a minute in a Japanese POW camp, but survive she did, by subterfuge, daring and luck. But by summer of 1942, Judy's fortunes were at a low ebb. She was now mostly dependent for food on a group of POWs who were sympathetic, but more than half starved themselves. One Frank Williams, observing the resourceful but faltering dog, decided to 'permanently adopt her, ' and on the day of this decision, though starving himself, Frank gave Judy his entire bowl of rice. It was a vital relationship. Both Frank and Judy survive the war, but neither would have without the other.Dog lovers like me are notorious for anthropomorphizing and assigning to dogs complex motives and emotions that are beyond their capabilities. But we might be forgiven for thinking Judy 'heroic' after reading the amazing incidents where Judy saved many lives.Especially if you are a dog lover, take a break and read this book.
