Antis - The War Dog
Yes , a soft toy ( not my wife's work this time ) - this was one that we bought in the gift shop of The International Bomber Command Centre near Lincoln . This is no ordinary soft toy , it represents an actual dog called Antis who was such an amazing character and full of bravery that he was awarded " The Dickin Medal " which is an award given to animals and is the equivalent to The Victoria Cross .
