About the Book

The inspiring true story of a loyal collie named Whitey, who befriended a troop of Canadian soldiers and served in the Second World War. One day in 1939, a troop of Canadian soldiers was marching through town when a young collie pup named Whitey broke free of his leash and ran over to greet them. This began an unlikely friendship that deepened as the soldiers prepared to leave on a dangerous mission to fight in the Second World War. As the soldiers trained, Whitey became their constant companion, leading their military parades and eventually becoming an official member of the troop-complete with a regimental number, pay, and the title "Trooper Whitey"! More than just a mascot, Whitey brought joy and comfort to the soldiers, who were about to leave their families and homes to fight overseas. In turn, Whitey was unfailingly loyal to the men and did everything he could to make them happy and boost their morale. When the time came for the men to head overseas, they could not imagine leaving without their four-legged companion and fellow soldier and hatched a plan to bring him along. Through whimsical illustrations and clear prose, this true story of friendship, loyalty, heroism, and heartbreak reflects the strong bonds between humans and animals and the sacrifices both make in times of war.
