Description: "Mercy dog, Flo, has more to contend with than racing across the dangerous battlefield of the Somme. Can she get her medical kit to the injured?

Depicting the key landmarks of the Somme, this story pays tribute to the remarkable bravery of the animals who played their part during World War One"--Publisher's description.
