RATS is the story of a very special dog - a dog soldier - and those who lived and served with him in Northern Ireland. Wounded on a number of occasions, awarded two medals for gallantry, his fame spread and when he retired with a special army full-dress parade in his honour, Rats was a TV celebrity, receiving fan letters by the thousand. This is a warm-hearted account of the affection and regard that grew between young soldiers in a number of regiments, and the little stray dog that loyally served with them through stress and danger.
