Story
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 century's darkest days, she was cherished and adored by the British, Australian, American and other Allied servicemen who fought to survive alongside her.

the strength of human & animal spirit

Summary
When Special Forces soldier Jason Morgan was left crippled by a mission that went wrong, battling depression and wheelchair-bound, his wife left him, and overnight he became a paraplegic father with three young boys to raise. He had lost the two very things that defined him: his military service plus his family and marriage.
As the pain spiked to unbearable levels, he agreed to have surgery to block it. But the doctors' promises that he would keep his mobility proved misplaced. After the surgery the pain was less, yet he'd lost the ability to move his legs.
It was then that Jason reached his lowest ebb. But it was then, too, that he heard about a not-for-profit call Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), one that specializes in providing service dogs to wounded veterans. Jason was convinced that his disability was serious enough to qualify him for a service dog and that CCI had just the animal for him.
Yet when he flew to their Oceanside, California, facility to meet his dog, Jason had no idea how much his life was about to change. So low was he that he wished that the airplane carrying him would tumble out of the sky and bring it all to an end. After meeting his black Labrador service dog, Napal, he would never do so again.
This is the story of how Napal enabled Jason to rebuild his life, to reconnect with his family and to find true peace against all the odds.

Great story
A remarkable story about s remarkable man. Jason faced incredible challenges, and numerous low-points, and as an airborne warrior picked himself up and faced up to each & every one.
I would have given this straight 4's but the narration lets it down. Wooden, stilted, fragmented sentence narrative. It deserved better.

Tugs at your heart strings all the way
At times I cried, at times my heart soared it was a realyl emotional read.
It's as much about the man as the dog and gives you insight into how wounded servicemen and women struggle after making a great sacrifice for their country.
It also gives you insight into service dogs and the compassion and hard work that goes into training these dogs.
The resilience of the human spirit, man's connection with dogs, the intelligence and love a dog can have all shine through beautifully in this book.

It was lovely to hear the story of this amazing service dog Nepal, from his first puppy raiser to his disabled veteran partner. A very mellow listen, but be prepared to be sad at times too. So many people with so much to bear.

What a disappointment!
I was looking forward to listening this book but after three hours I gave it up. Why does the author, who also narrates the book, talk about himself in third person when the book is about his own life?
I find his voice very monotone and I wish he wouldn't try to change his tone for the diffent characters, they all sound very strange.
The base of the story could be interesting finding out more about special forces and service dogs but it covers every miniature detail in great details making the book slagish.
And what is the author's aim when he continously reapeats himself with sentences like 'He was crying. He had tears in his eyes.' It means the same.
I'm very disappointed with this book.
