Descrizione

First edition, early reissue. Illustrated throughout in colour by Diana Thorne. 8vo, publisher's original ivory cloth with large pictorial pastedown on the upper cover, pictorially illustrated endpapers. 32pp. A very near to fine copy, the interior is in excellent condition, fresh and clean, the ivory cloth a bit time-yellowed though the pictorial pastedown remains fine and bright.

Edizione: a scarce book reminding us that not all heroes are humans. though this children's story is fiction, it is based on actual events and a montage of true stories. private pepper is a collie who serves in the u.s. army and saves the life of the soldier he is paired with. during the second world war nearly 20,000 patriotic american pooches were enlisted for service through the dogs for defense program.
