Mehso-so

An interesting read. I had no idea dogs did stuff like this in WWII. I should of guessed, as they're in all sorts of military and police things now, but I don't know. Judy sounds like a pretty remarkable dog and I guess this is a softer POV for kids, but still some parts felt.. off. Hard to explain. Now I really want to read the nonfiction account mentioned at the end of the book!

I'm interested in the time period and these events, but finding the 1st person POV of the dog is a little.. weird? Not sure how to explain it. But also, this sentence made me snort lol
