Stanley’s dad hasn’t been the same since his wife died and his eldest son went off to fight in the war. Now Stanley is either invisible to his dad or the object of one of his rages, and his only friend is his dad’s prizewinning greyhound, Rocket. But one day Rocket escapes, and the result is a litter of non-thoroughbred puppies that Da says will all have to be drowned, even Stanley’s favourite puppy, Solider. Stanley is so angry with his father that he runs away and enlists in the army to train as a messenger dog handler, and despite being far too young he’s soon heading to France with a great Dane called Bones by his side.
As the fighting escalates and Stanley experiences the horrors of war, he comes to realise that the loyalty of his dog is the one thing he can rely on. But his father hasn’t given up on him, and extraordinary circumstances will bring them together once more . . .Reviews
I would highly reccomend this book to someone else cause it was amazing

It was very sad especially when the dog called Bones died and when at the end you thought Soldier, Da and Tom where dead but it ends happily when Stanley finds out that they are alive and at home waiting for him.

It is as good as a Michael Morpurgo book! It's about the war and two very loyal dogs who risk their lives to get back to their master.
