It is a heartwarming story of a Border Collie with the unusual name of Peter Woodhouse.  The poor thing is abused by his owner and finally an angel comes to save him.  The angel's name is Val.  She is young and to earn money and help with the war effort she is a working on a farm.  When she takes the dog she realizes that she needs to hide him from his owner.  She had met an American pilot named Mike who was stationed nearby.  Peter Woodhouse finds himself being named a mascot for the unit.  And as you can tell from the title he also gets to fly in airplanes and becomes a good luck charm for the men.
      The love of a dog can bring people together - even those who are on opposite sides of the war.
