4-6Dog Chronicles series.
Illustrated by
Michael G. Montgomery.
It's 1917 in Cosham, England, and a family's pet collie, Darling, becomes a Red Cross mercy dog, seeking out wounded soldiers in need. In tense first-person narration, Darling relates her journey from England to France as she goes from reluctant helper to WWI hero. Light sketches further evoke time and place. Appended historical background supplements the narrative. Reading list, websites. Bib.
