Captain Loxley's Little Dog is a touching, very sad true story, related to one of the maritime tragedies of World War 1. It is reimagined through the dog's eyes.

It tells of the devotion of Bruce, an Airedale/Irish terrier cross who remained faithful to his master, Noel Loxley, the Captain of the ill-fated HMS Formidable, to the last. The faithful dog refused to leave for the safety of a lifeboat when his master's ship was struck by a German torpedo on New Year's Day, 1915 off the Devon/Dorset coast.

Lassie was the remarkably intelligent pub dog from Lyme in Dorset who saved the life of one of the sailors of the Formidable. The collie became quite a celebrity and was the inspiration for Lassie, the movie dog.
