When the author first met him, in November 1941, Rex belonged to a Bishop of the Maronite Church. Rec disliked strangers, but James Riddell proved an exception. The dog became his devoted companion at the newly-formed ski instruction school which the author was appointed to command. Rex was a great favourite with the troops who came to the school from all regiments and nations - Australians, New Zealanders, Greeks, Gurkhas, and British. This is Rex's story and theirs. Dog in the Snow is an informative book about an almost unknown war-time activity, written with great charm and humour. All who love animals, and particularly those who can understand the fascination of skiing, will delight in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50019145449719,"sku":null,"price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7687\/5255\/files\/IMG_9006_8308e146-942d-48dc-bc97-6436e0d9f3c3.jpg?v=1756243440","url":"https:\/\/phoenixbooksnz.com\/en-de\/products\/dog-in-the-snow-by-james-riddell-the-story-of-the-wartime-ski-school","provider":"Phoenix Books NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
