A true story about Major, a dog that worked in WWII as part of a program called Dogs for Defense. Dogs for Defense was a program that asked Americans to volunteer their pet dogs for jobs in WWII. The military then returned the dogs to the original owners at the end of the war. The story is told from the point of view of the dog, and is beautifully illustrated. The author does a very nice job telling the story as a dog might imagine it, with emphasis on smells, a dog's primary sense for identification. I enjoyed the story as well as learning some history from the historical note at the end. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"During WWII, the U.S. Military established the Fort Robinson War Dogs Training Center in western Nebraska, training over 17,000 "dogs for defense" and deploying them to battlefields and installations all over the world. At the beginning of the program, without a ready supply of dogs to train, the U.S. government asked civilians throughout the region to volunteer their dogs for service. Thousands answered the call, and their pets served our country courageously as guards, scouts, messengers, sled runners, and more. Told from the point of view of Major, a border collie based on a real dog from North Dakota, Major: A Soldier Dog tells the incredible story of the War Dog program through his eyes, following him through the heartbreaking separation from his family, the training at Fort Robinson, his harrowing war service in Italy, his return home for detraining and discharge, and finally the tearful reunion with his family."--Amazon.
