When Peggy saves a stray dog from near‑death, a beautiful friendship begins. Nothing can come between them – until war is declared.

Peggy is evacuated to safety, but Beau is left behind in London, where he becomes the most unexpected of war heroes. Night after night, as bombs rain down and lives are destroyed, Beau searches the ruins of the city, rescuing countless survivors.

But then tragedy strikes and Beau must set off on an incredible journey to find his beloved Peggy...

Knowing the previous two books I was highly anticipating this book. It more than lived up to my expectations! The decision of switching from a person's viewpoint to an animal was a nice change of pace.

As usual Phil manages to tell a wonderful adventure during the second world war, with heartfelt moments and characters that blend perfectly.

A captivating adventure
