"Bunny?" The major laughed. "That's an odd name for a horse."

"It's because of his ears, sir," said Tom. "You can see they're a little long. You know, like a bunny's. But he's brave as a tiger, sir."

A tall, strong and well-trained police horse, Bunny is sent overseas at the beginning of World War I. Enduring gas attacks, the threat of enemy bullets, poor shelter and food shortages, Bunny proves to be every bit as courageous as the soldiers he is there to help. And no one knows this better than his riders, brothers Bud and Thomas Dundas, who are grateful for this steadfast calm amidst the chaos of war.

Poignantly told, with rich, cinematic illustrations, Bunny the Brave War Horse is a heartful story of courage and loyalty in a most challenging time.
