Summary: Fantastic, Wonderful, Heart-warming, Touching, Terrific
Review: "Yorkie Doodle Dandy" is a great story, obviously written with a deep love. It offers a different dimension to typical war stories. The story's heroine, a 4 pound Yorkshire Terrier named Smoky, is absolutely incredible, as is her master, Bill Wynne. They are proof positive of the deep and enduring relationship that can exist between a human being and a pet. When you read this fantastic story, you'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll rejoice in the human/pet connection. This is a first person account of a wonderful relationship. I highly recommend it!

Summary: A NEVER-TO-BE-FORGOTTEN MEMOIR
Review: "Yorkie Doodle Dandy," is a heartwarming book that moves the reader from laughter to tears as the author recalls his World War II - and beyond - experiences with Smoky, a remarkable little Yorkshire Terrier. The four pound, four-legged angel was an award-winning mascot, as well as a war dog who strung telephone lines through an eight-inch drainage pipe under an airstrip in a combat area, saving several days' worth of work, and a much-loved companion. Following the War, she and Wynne entertained countless people doing a remarkable array of tricks. Readers will be grateful that Bill Wynne has chosen to share the story of his life with Smoky. Their adventures are to be savored. This highly entertaining book is one you'll want to read again and again.

Summary: Smoky and Bill were true war heros.
Review: Smoky a little 4lb Yorkshire Terrier was one of the most celebrated dogs from World War II. It is very heartwarming to read about how she became a true hero. From the time she was found in New Guinea to her being sneaked back to the United States. I thought the story in whole will make you smile and cry when she dies. Only Bill Wynne could tell this beautiful story of a soldier and his pal in such a great book. I would recommend this book, to those who love dogs and a little bit of history

Summary: A great story!
Review: This is a great story, obviously written out of deep love and affection. Anyone who's ever loved a pet will love this book. Anyone interested in World War II will find a whole new facet of that story. Reading this book reaffirms Tom Brokaw's proclamation (and title of his book) This is the greatest generation. Bill Wynne is further proof of that and Smoky, the 4 lb. Yorkshire Terrier is just an absolute wonder!

Summary: A NEVER-TO-BE-FORGOTTEN MEMOIR
Review: This is my Dad's book about a small Yorkshire Terrier, found by chance who went through the war with him. Trained to do many tricks, she entertained many troops, and many Americans after the war was over. I remember Smoky when I was a kid, and too soon, she was gone. A great story, well told.

Summary: THE BRAVEST LITTLE YORKIE
Review: Yorkie Doodle Dandy is not just another story of a man and his dog. It is a real life story of a miracle and I guess what is meant to be will be. Mr. Wynne finds his little Yorkie literally in the middle of nowhere on an island during a war. I don't want to give the story away but it shows the bonding that can take place between owner and pet and what sacrifices will be made for each other. Be prepared to laugh and cry. If you have Yorkies, like I do, run and get this book. If you don't have Yorkies, read this book and you will want a Yorkie. My deepest respect to Mr. Wynne who is one of those rare people who truly understands dogs.
