“Rags even learned to salute. He'd raise a paw to his face, then drop it as a smart show of respect.”

This is a very heartfelt story that also shares details about the war that can be informative. It shows How intelligent dogs are and the bond rags and Donovan formed. This would be great for middle to older elementary aged children.

This is a book about a dog named Rags during the time of WWI. The dog took shelter in an empty doorway hiding when an American soldier stumbled upon the dog. He grabbed the dog and took him with back to base. He could hear things before the soldiers could, and they would follow his lead. He became a soldier. One day rags and Donovan got injured. Rags survived but after days of treatment Donavan eventually passed in the night.

Rags even learned to saulte.

Beautiful true story about a dog and it's private trying to survive WW1 together.

Nonfiction. This book talks about the true story of a Rags a dog in World War 1. Rags is found by Private Donavan and accompanies him through war. Rags proves to be a useful companion in more ways than one. But they are in the middle of a war so its best that you just read the book to find out what happens next.

“It was told that rags and went near that hospital again. She knew Donovan wasn‘t there. His best friend now lived in his heart.”
this heart breaking quote is so true, as your love ones do not stay where they die or where they are buried, they stay in your heart forever.

I think the store I would really draw the attention of students because it‘s based on a real story and children love animals, and this will help them connect to the past and learn about the world war.

A true story about a soldier, finding a stray and him becoming his owner. The dog becomes Donovan‘s Little helper in the battlefield, bringing up spirits in becoming a legend. But both rags and Donovan get wounded, and Donovan gets sent back to America but rags wont be separated without a fight.

I love any story about a dog. This is an inspiring work and is sure to please kids who like animal stories. It introduces the reader to some of the horrors of war in a gentle, age appropriate way. Have tissues ready.

This is the story of a dog who was surviving in Paris when he was found by an American soldier named James Donovan during an air raid after the Americans entered WWI. It didn't take long for Rags to become a favorite with the soldiers and to adjust to infantry life in the trenches.

I like that this book helps explain something as mature as a war in a child friendly way
