Overview

Gander: The Dog Who Went to War In 1941, as the Pacific war ignites and Hong Kong braces for invasion, an unlikely soldier steps forward - on four legs. Gander is a Newfoundland puppy, adopted by a Canadian regiment and carried halfway across the world to a city on the brink. He does not understand politics, empires or strategy. He understands belonging. As the Japanese assault begins and the Battle of Hong Kong descends into chaos, Gander refuses to retreat. Through gunfire, shattered streets and collapsing defences, he stays with his men. When the unthinkable happens, instinct and devotion drive him to an act of courage that will echo long after the smoke clears. Inspired by the true story of a real wartime mascot, Gander: The Dog Who Went to War is a powerful work of historical fiction for young readers - and the adults who read beside them. It is a story of loyalty under fire, sacrifice without hesitation, and heroism measured not by rank, but by heart. This is not a sentimental tale. It is a war story. And at its centre stands a dog who chose to protect his people when it mattered most.
