In the months that followed, the pair would save each other’s lives countless times as they flew together with RAF Bomber Command. Unable to desert the puppy, Robert hid Ant inside his jacket as he escaped. The other was a different kind of lost soul-a Czech airman bound for the Royal Air Force and the country that he would come to call home.Īirman Robert Bozdech stumbled across the tiny German shepherd-whom he named Ant-after being shot down on a daring mission over enemy lines. One was an orphaned puppy, abandoned by his owners as they fled Nazi forces. In the winter of 1939, in the cold snow of no-man’s-land, two loners met and began an extraordinary journey that would turn them into lifelong friends. “A thoroughly enjoyable story of heroism and true friendship” ( Publishers Weekly, starred review), this is the true account of a German shepherd who was adopted by the Royal Air Force during World War II, flying countless combat missions and ultimately saving the life of his owner and dearest friend.
