Publisher's Note
Jet, a black Labrador, was well-trained by a young English poacher, Fred Parry. When Fred is caught and jailed shortly before the outbreak of World War II, Jet is requisitioned by the army, where her training stands her in good stead. This is the fast-paced story about a remarkable dog whom the reader soon comes to love.

Industry Reviews
"The immediacy and high drama of the story might also make it a gripping readaloud for older listeners, and fans of dog stories, who often have to go awhile between satisfying reads, will be grateful for this engaging entry."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (11/19/1997)

"Military buffs will relish the war details: This book has the feel of the black-and-white movies of the 1940s. All readers will be stirred by the heroic canine's adventures."
