A fascinating look at a forgotten area of WW II, namely what happened to all the pets? Sadly many of them were put down in the initial days of the Phoney War with crematoria pushed beyond their limits. Then came tensions with rationing and the consumption of crucial supplies, tales of heroism and miraculous survival and finally conscription into the armed forces. A real eye-opener and an engrossing read, although with its share of sadness.
