Captured by the Japanese and interred at a camp in Medan, Judy formed a lifelong bond with Frank Williams, protecting him and other prisoners from the brutal guards. The airman offered the camp commandant one of Judy’s puppies in a plea to protect her and she became officially listed as POW 81A Medan. She encountered alligators, wild dogs, a Sumatran tiger and even bullet wounds and was eventually de-mobbed and spent six months in quarantine before she was awarded the PDSA Medal in London. Still accompanying Frank to Africa for his work, Judy was buried there when she died in February 1950.

:sniffsnif Dogs can be such loyal protectors and friends. They put most humans to shame.

I agree.....dogs put humans to shame, showing us so much undeserved loyalty.

Did y'all know that our first canine decorated war hero was a Pit Bull?
