The Royal Navy is going to the dogs..... based on a true story, Just Nuisance is a hilarious, happily-ever-after misadventure of the only dog ever enlisted in the British Royal Navy. A gigantic Great Dane, appropriately named Just Nuisance, bumbled his way into the hearts of countless sailors and civilians as he championed his beloved mates, saved lives, and kept his little corner of the Empire safe from the Axis of Evil. It was 1939 and the world was on the brink of war. The Royal Navy decided victory lay in the hidden recesses of the British Empire. Recesses like Simon's Town South Africa, where an unexpected secret would put an end to Hitler and his dreams of world domination. A dog...but not just any dog...a gigantic Great Dane who amassed a fortune in fame on two continents and went on to become a legend. This is his story. And, the story of the sailors who befriended him, ultimately saved him, and the madcap mayhem they created together. Just Nuisance befriended every sailor in Simon's Town and everyone loved him, except the stuffed shirts at the South Africa Railways. Free to run amok up and down the Cape, Just Nuisance created good-natured chaos, ruffled feathers and made history as the only canine ever enlisted in the Royal Navy...all the while running from the arrogant South African Railways, who put a bounty on his free spirited head. With a supporting cast of equally lovable, zany, and distinctive characters...from Just Nuisance's sidekick, Ajax, the loyal Bulldog to the crazy but dedicated sailors you have an irresistible combination of fun and adventure. Just Nuisance was a fun loving pup...but he was much more than that to the hundreds of lives he touched during his service to King and Country. To this day Just Nuisance is a legend in many parts of the world.
