A beautifully captivating look at one dog's bravery during the war
Judy is a dog who lives on a ship called HMS Grasshopper.
As the ship's mascot, Judy has many duties.

rats, watches out for soldiers who may fall overboard, and she listens
out for danger.
Judy loves her crew, and they love her.
She knows that she brings comfort to the men, making her job very important during these hard times. But when her soldiers are taken prisoner and she is separated from her beloved Frank, she must find the strength to keep going.
She is their only hope.
