The extraordinary tale of friendship and survival between a man and a dog in war. AN UNCOMMON BOND tells the remarkable story of Royal Air Force technician Frank Williams and Judy, a purebred pointer, who met in an internment camp during WWII. Judy was a fiercely loyal animal who sensed danger and instinctively mistrusted anyone in enemy uniform. Their relationship deepened throughout their imprisonment. The prisoners suffered severe beatings which Judy would interrupt with her barking. The dog became a beacon for the men, who saw in her survival a flicker of hope for their own. Judy was the war's only canine POW, and when she passed away in 1950, she was buried in her Air Force jacket. Williams would never own another dog. Their story-of an unbreakable bond forged in the worst circumstance-is one of the great undiscovered sagas of World War II.;Intro; Title Page; Welcome; Dedication; Epigraph; A Note to the Reader; Prologue; Chapter 1: Mascot; Chapter 2: Dog Overboard; Chapter 3: Shore Leave; Chapter 4: War; Chapter 5: Amour; Chapter 6: War Dogs; Chapter 7: Frank; Chapter 8: Force Z; Chapter 9: Flight; Chapter 10: Day of Destruction-February 14, 1942; Chapter 11: Posic; Chapter 12: Pompong; Chapter 13: Sumatra; Chapter 14: Padang; Chapter 15: Imprisoned; Chapter 16: Gloegoer; Chapter 17: POW #81-A; Chapter 18: Subterfuge; Chapter 19: Hell Ship; Chapter 20: Reunion; Chapter 21: Pakan Baroe; Chapter 22: Pig Face and King Kong.
