Download Horrie the War Dog: The Story of Australia's Most Famous Dog AudioBook Free
In the severe Libyan desert in the middle of the next world conflict, Private Jim Moody, a signaller with the First Australian Machine Weapon Battalion, found a starving doggy on a sand dune. Moody called the dog Horrie. A lot more than a mascot, Horrie's exceptional reading picked up the whine of opponent plane two minutes before his people counterparts and consistently preserved the lives of the thousand-strong contingent. When the conflict was completed and Horrie smuggled back home, quarantine officials pounced and demanded that the dog be placed down, prompting a huge open public outcry. Was Horrie, the gunner's hero, condemned to die or could Moody devise a system to save lots of him. In the finest ANZAC custom, Horrie the Battle Dog is a tale of intrigue and illusion, and of sacrifice, courage and commitment.
