Winter 1939 - in the cold snow of no-man's-land, two loners met and began an extraordinary journey that would bind them together for the rest of their lives. One was an orphaned puppy, abandoned by his owners as they fled the approaching Nazi forces. The other, a lost soul of a different sort - a Czech airmen called Robert Bozdech who stumbled across the tiny German Shepherd after being shot down during a daring mission over enemy lines.
Unable to desert his charge, Bozdech hid the dog inside his flying jacket as he made his escape. In the months that followed the pair would save each other's lives countless times as they fled France and flew together with Bomber Command; the puppy - which Robert named Ant - becoming the Squadron mascot along the way. At the end of the war Ant was justly awarded the Dickin Medal, the 'Animal VC'.
Thrilling and deeply moving, their story is told by bestselling historian Damien Lewis. It will touch the heart of anyone who understands the special bond that exists between one man and his dog.©2013 Damien Lewis
