The story of "Smoky", a four-pound Yorkshire Terrier found in an abandoned foxhole in New Guinea during World War II. Smoky eventually becomes the property of Corporal Bill Wynne, who teaches her tricks which entertain his fellow GIs. Bill also discovers that Smoky is able to lift the spirits of GIs stricken with illnesses in military hospitals. Smoky proves she is a real war dog by pulling a string through a narrow 70-foot-long pipe under a runway, allowing a communication line to be quickly laid and preventing exposure of troops and equipment to enemy fire. Twelve monuments to Smoky, the first documented therapy dog, exist around the world. Many years later the elderly Bill visits one of them near his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.
