All of us can testify to the remarkable bond
that can form between animals and humans.
We rely on animals for so many things:
companionship, solace, help in our daily lives,
and indeed love. But there are some animals,
like some humans, who have that extra special
something that sets them apart. Something
of the selflessness that comes in extreme
situations,
particulari)·
those that occur in
wartime, where an act of bravery can capture
the mood of the time. We call it gallantry.
We humans celebrate this gallantry with the
Victoria Cross, In animals we celebrate it
with the PDSA Dickin Medal, named after
Maria Dickin. CBE. the founder of PDSA
(The Peoples Dispensary tor Sick Animals).
In this book, the true tales of heart rending
devotion and duty ot every Dickin Medal
recipient are told
trom
first-hand accounts
and from the citations themselves. There s
Rip the terrier, who is credited with
sav
ing
upwards ot ioo lives snitfingout survivors
buried after bombing raids in World War
f
I
Judy the pointer, hero of a Japanese prisoner
of war camp. Simon the ships cat, who.
though injured, continued to stay with his
crew under fire. And there s Buster, a spaniel
who located an arms cache in Afghanistan,
saving the lives of countless soldiers
This is a lasting memorial to these
remarkable animals and the men and
women who came to relv on them
