"If at all possible, send or take your household animals into the
country in advance of an emergency. If you cannot place them in the
care of neighbours, it really is kindest to have them destroyed."

of her step-mother, a woman more concerned with having a good time
than being any sort of parent to her. But then she finds a puppy,
left for dead, and Joanna becomes determined to save him, sharing
her meagre rations with him. But, in a time of war, pets are only
seen as an unnecessary burden and she is forced to hide her new
friend, Harry, from her step-mother and the authorities. With bombs
falling over Bristol and with the prospect of evacuation on the
horizon, can they stay together and keep each other safe? A
