War Animals: The Unsung Heroes of WWII tells the stories of the dogs, horses, mules, pigeons—and even one cat—who did their bit for the war effort. American and British families volunteered beloved family pets and farm dogs to aid in the war effort, and many of these gallant animals are recipients of the prestigious Dickin Medal, the “Animals’ Victoria Cross.” Their loyalty and courage is a testimony to the enduring bond between us and the animals we love.
