Forlagsbeskrivelse af Sophie From Romania A Year Of Love And Hope With A Rescue Dog af Rory Cellan-Jones
‘Fills my heart with so much joy' Niall Harbison, bestselling author of Hope'In a dark time, a daily dose of hope’ Jojo MoyesHow 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.
