A good read

I've just read two good books that have probably been mentioned on here before, but I'll mention them again.

Twenty Wagging Tales by Barrie Hawkins - the story of his first year of rehoming orphan dogs.

One Dog at a Time by Pen Farthing - Sving the strays of Helmand.

The two books both made me laugh at times, and brought a tear to my eye also. Well worth a read.

I LOVE One Dog At A Time, brilliant read. There is a second book by Pen about how some of the dogs (won't specify names in case anyone is reading the first one at the moment!) get on afterwards.

I went to one of Pen's talks a few months back - go if you get the chance. It was amazing but a bit sad to read the book afterwards, knowing what would happen.

I haven't heard of Twenty Wagging Tails - I'll look out for that one

I haven't read the Pen Farthing one yet (but it is on my list) but absolutely loved Barrie Hawkins book, and have read it numerous times. Definitely recommended

Loved the pen Farthing one (haven't read the second yet) and I met a rescued Nowzad dog last weekend, at a fun show. He was gorgeous - really big, longhaired and creamish with grey overlay. Only half a tail, and no ears - but you couldn't really tell because of his long coat. He looked a bit like a Sarplaninac or one of the other large livestock guardians.
