One of the most charming, enterprising, and charismatic characters in the story of World War II’ – Jilly Cooper 'Prepare to read this fantastic story in one sitting. Very highly recommended.' - Sea Breezes 'A well-researched, carefully crafted and hugely enjoyable account of one of the most remarkable animals to play a part in World War II,' - Aberdeen Press & Journal This is the remarkable story of one of the Second World War’s most unusual animal heroes – a 14-stone St Bernard dog who became global mascot for the Royal Norwegian Forces and a symbol of freedom and inspiration for Allied troops throughout Europe. From a happy and carefree puppyhood spent as a family pet in the Norwegian fishing town of Honningsvåg, the gentle giant Bamse followed his master at the outbreak of the war to become a registered crew member of the mine-sweeper Thorodd. Often donning his own steel helmet as he took his place in the Thorodd’s bow gun turret, Bamse cut an impressive figure and made a huge contribution to the morale of the crew, and he gallantly saved the lives of two of them.
