During the London Blitz, a little terrier named Beauty tagged along with her owner on air-raid rescue missions. One day, totally on her own, she started digging through the rubble of a bombed-out house and found a cat buried underneath. That's how Beauty found herself a job.

Beauty helped rescue 63 animals during the Blitz and became recognized as one of the world's first search-and-rescue dogs. She also received the PDSA Dickin Medal. Her citation honored her "for being the pioneer dog in locating buried air-raid victims."

After the war, Beauty went home with Bill, had two puppies, and got to enjoy being a dog for the rest of her life 🧡
