description: Judy a beautiful liver and white English pointer and the only animal POW of WWII truly was a dog in a million. Whether she was dragging men to safety from the wreckage of a torpedoed ship scavenging food to help feed the starving inmates of a hellish Japanese POW camp or by her presence alone bringing inspiration and hope to men living through the 20th centurys darkest days she was cherished and adored by the British Australian American and other Allied servicemen who fought to survive alongside her.Viewed largely as human by those who shared her extraordinary life Judys uncanny ability to sense danger matched with her quick-thinking and impossible daring saved countless lives. She was a close companion to men who became like a family to her sharing in both the tragedies and joys they faced. It was in recognition of the extraordinary friendship and protection she offered amidst the unforgiving and savage environment of a Japanese prison camp in Indonesia that she gained her formal status as a POW.Judys unique combination of courage kindness and fun repaid that honour a thousand times over and her incredible story is one of the most heartwarming and inspiring tales you will ever read.
