520 2  "The true account of a German shepherd who was adopted by 
       the Royal Air Force during World War II, joined in flight 
       missions, and survived everything from crash-landings to 
       parachute bailouts--ultimately saving the life of his 
       owner and dearest friend. In the winter of 1939 in the 
       cold snow of no-man's-land, two loners met and began an 
       extraordinary journey that would turn them into lifelong 
       friends. One was an orphaned puppy, abandoned by his 
       owners as they fled Nazi forces. The other was a different
       kind of lost soul--a Czech airman bound for the Royal Air 
       Force and the country that he would come to call home. 
       Airman Robert Bozdech stumbled across the tiny German 
       shepherd--whom he named Ant--after being shot down on a 
       daring mission over enemy lines. Unable to desert his 
       charge, Robert hid Ant inside his jacket as he escaped. In
       the months that followed the pair would save each other's 
       lives countless times as they flew together with Bomber 
       Command. And though Ant was eventually grounded due to 
       injury, he refused to abandon his duty, waiting patiently 
       beside the runway for his master's return from every 
       sortie, and refusing food and sleep until they were 
       reunited. By the end of the war Robert and Ant had become 
       British war heroes, and Ant was justly awarded the Dickin 
       Medal, the 'Animal VC'"--Provided by publisher.
