Dog Jim of the Machine Gun Section in France
In a trench section a stray dog named Jim becomes a mascot and symbol of luck for British soldiers in France. Jim survives bombardments and gas, guards a gun crew, shares meals, and aids a wounded comrade Dalton during a no man’s land attack before dying from a bullet. He is buried with a Union Jack and a wooden cross as “A dog with a man’s heart.”
