Book of the week - 11th November

This week's book of the week is 'Soldier dog' by Sam Angus. This book fits in with two of the display themes in the Library - Remembrance and animals. The story is set during the First World War and is a moving story about the bond between humans and dogs.
From the blurb:
'He''ll always be true, faithful and brave, even to the last beat of his heart.
It is 1917. In the trenches of France miles from home, Stanley is a boy fighting a man's war. He is a dog handler, whose dog must be so loyal that he will cross no-man's-land alone under heavy fire to return to Stanley's side, carring a message that could save countless lives. But this journey is fraught with danger, and only the bravest will survive.
As the fighting escalates and Stanley experiences the true horror of war, he comes to realize that the loyalty of his dog is the only thing he can rely on...'
