Taken on ship by the Royal Navy, he is given the name of Ria and serves as the scruffy mascot to a boatload of sailors. Marooned in England in the midst of the Blitz, Ria rescues an old woman from the rubble of her bombed house, and finds himself unexpectedly transformed into Bel, the coiffed and pampered companion of her old age.\u003ci\u003eBel Ria\u003c\/i\u003e is an exciting story about a compellingly real, completely believable dog. Readers of all sorts and ages will find in \u003ci\u003eBel Ria\u003c\/i\u003e a companion to take to heart.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Kids","offers":[{"title":"Bel RIA: Dog of War | Sheila Burnford | Paperback | 9781681374475 | Used: Very Good | Children's Books 1736500","offer_id":48168499249304,"sku":"1736500","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81DjJrnXkoL.jpg?v=1771969086","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/bel-ria-dog-of-war","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
