Klappentext
'Fills my heart with so much joy' Niall Harbison, bestselling author of Tina
'In a dark time, a daily dose of hope' Jojo Moyes
How do you welcome someone new into your heart and home? A week before Christmas, newly retired BBC journalist Rory Cellan-Jones receives a special delivery that will change his life.
This is the story of rescue dog #SophieFromRomania.
In January 2022, the Cellan-Jones-Coyle family said goodbye to their beloved elderly Collie cross, Cabbage. She and Rory had become inseparable during daily pandemic walks, which alleviated his Parkinson's symptoms. After a grief-stricken year, Rory and his wife Diane come across a listing for 'a kind girl who loves everybody and is just looking for her forever home'.
Bright-eyed, big-eared and trembling, Sophie arrives in London on 17 December 2022. Rory holds the Romanian rescue in his arms, excited for their first walk together - but the road ahead will be a long one.
This book follows the real journey of Sophie's adoption - from her battles with anxiety, to the joys of play and her first time outside - as Rory and Diane work with expert dog trainer Si to win Sophie's trust and navigate Rory's Parkinson's disease.
This is a moving story of love, kindness and a lot of patience, paying tribute to rescue dogs and their tender community.
