About the book
A fun story about an adorable and REAL dog. Enjoy the happy rhyming and the matching illustrations.
Inspired by the story of he first dog enlisted in the Royal Navy during World War II.
Just Nuisance was a Great Dane and the only dog EVER to be officially enlisted in the Royal Navy. Between 1939 and 1944 Just Nuisance served on HMS Afrikander, a Royal Navy ship anchored in Simon’s Town, South Africa.
Just Nuisance had his own bed, and his own sailor’s hat too, he traveled by train quite often and he even flew in a plane or two.
“In South of Africa once lived
A Great Dane with a busy tail.
Just Nuisance he was called
And everyone his tale told…”
A recent review for the book
If you love dogs, and who doesn’t, you will enjoy this lovely book. It would be a perfect book to read to a young person. Some great discussions about dogs would ensue. The story is based on a real dog, a Great Dane who was enlisted in the Royal Navy. The drawings are adorable and as the author says, “Any dog, from small to giant, holds a place in someone’s heart.”
