Judy: A Dog In A Million

Judy: A Dog In a Million

Judy, a beautiful liver and white English pointer, was the only animal POW of WWII. She was truly a dog in a million, cherished and adored by the British, Australian, American, and other Allied servicemen who fought to survive alongside her.

Viewed largely as human by those who shared her extraordinary life, Judy's uncanny ability to sense danger, matched with her quick-thinking and impossible daring, saved countless lives. She was a close companion to men who became like a family to her, sharing in both the tragedies and joys they faced. It was in recognition of the extraordinary friendship and protection she offered amidst the unforgiving and savage environment of a Japanese prison camp in Indonesia that she gained her formal status as a POW.

Judy's unique combination of courage, kindness, and fun repaid that honor a thousand times over, and her incredible story is one of the most heartwarming and inspiring tales you will ever read.
