The young listeners' adaptation of the New York Times bestseller No Better Friend—the extraordinary tale of friendship and survival between a man and a dog in World War II.
No Better Friend tells the incredible true story of Frank Williams, a radarman in Britain's Royal Air Force, and Judy, a purebred pointer, who met as prisoners of war during World War II. Judy, who became the war's only official canine POW, was a fiercely loyal dog who sensed danger—warning her fellow prisoners of imminent attacks and protecting them from brutal beatings. Frank and Judy's friendship, an unbreakable bond forged in the worst circumstances, is one of the great recently unearthed stories of World War II.

      Harrowing and inspiring. Dan Woren narrates the true story of Judy, a scrappy dog that served the Royal Navy at sea and later became a POW of the Japanese during WWII. Beginning her tour of duty on a royal gunboat, Judy quickly ingratiated herself with the seamen. Much of the story is built from first-person accounts and memoirs of soldiers from several nations, and Woren tailors each personal account with the appropriate accent. Woren balances his energy between enthusiasm for Judy's exploits and sobering descriptions of life as a POW. While the accents aren't always perfect, they succeed at reminding the listener just how many nations were affected by the war, not to mention how many different soldiers were impacted by Judy.
