HEROES: INSPIRING TRUE STORIES OF COURAGEOUS ANIMALS

Book ID/图书代码： 04560017C00057

English Summary/英文概要： The new astounding collection of true stories by the acclaimed duo of Survivors, Winner of the Blue Peter
Book Award 2017 (‘Best Book With Facts’)

As mascots, messengers, rat-catchers and even spies, animals have long marched into war alongside servicemen and women. Dogs, horses, cats (even birds, camels and elephants) have saved thousands of lives through instinct, intelligence, courage and devotion.

Like Jet, a dog who searched through ruins during the Blitz bombings to find survivors, or Sergeant Stubby, a dog who caught a spy. Or the pigeons who braved hurricanes, hawks and even snipers to help during WWII ...

Engaging, uplifting and deeply moving, Heroes tells the stories of these brave, silent heroes with sensitivity and gentle humour for readers age 9+.

First published as Jet The Rescue Dog, David Long’s incredible true tales are re-packaged with Kerry Hyndman’s astounding artwork.
