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.
