About This Book
Judy was a pure-bred liver-and-white English pointer whose remarkable life spanned the tumultuous years of the Second World War.
Trained by the Royal Navy as a ship's dog, she served aboard several vessels in the Far East and became an early-warning system for enemy aircraft.
After surviving the sinking of HMS Grasshopper, Judy endured captivity in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp alongside her fellow servicemen.
Her loyalty, intelligence, and bravery earned her the Dickin Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an animal during wartime.
This account draws on survivor testimonies and official records to document Judy's extraordinary journey from naval mascot to enduring symbol of courage.
