THIS BOOK IS GOLD - GET IT!

Compiled and designed by Tom Thompson and with an Introduction by the late, great Tim Bowden (alas, he passed away in September last year), this little book (85 pages) features many new photographs (most of them coloured or tinted) of Horrie, including of him back in Australia - with a classic one of Ion Idriess shaking Horrie's paw (p.54 - book probably worth it for this photo alone - love it!) and another page (p.79) of his paw prints. It also includes articles, letters, official correspondence about Horrie, illustrations and the public's reaction to Horrie's demise - as well as a previously unpublished Preface by Ion Idriess (p.78). But wait - there is also a surprise ending (p.82)!

For anyone who loved Horrie the Wog Dog and the exploits of Private Jim Moody and his Signals Platoon of the 6th Division, AIF - or just likes dogs - or collects Idriess - or is interested in history/WWII - this is the book to get.

Thanks Tom. And Tim. And the Moody family. And our beloved little furry friend - HORRIE!
