Description

Animals, especially dogs, have served in all the wars of men since time immemorial.

During World War II, most combatant nations employed dogs on the battlefield in a number of ways, including searching for injured men or downed airmen, detecting mines, carrying messages between units or dragging communications wires, particularly in difficult terrain, transporting supplies, and sentry duty. This illustrated book is an overview of how dogs were trained and used in WWII by different countries, including the stories of some of the individual animals that served.

It also summarises the various programs established to take care of the animals and send them home after the war.
