Very engaging story about how WW2 effected the people of north -west Australia told through the eyes of a dog. Initially named Princess, and belonging to Elsie on an outback cattle station, the dog is shipped off to some drovers when Elsie is evacuated due to threats that the Japanese will invade Australia. Eventually becoming Flynn, a dog helping patients in a remote Flying Doctor hospital ...including those Dutch women and children who were bombed by the Japanese at Broome (something that I did not actually know happened) ...and flying to remote places where people are scared by the war with the Flying Doc, this is a very captivating story.
Along the way, the dog loses a leg and gets older but SPOILER ALERT...eventually is reunited with its owner. ( )
