lil_angel Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 “Working in one of the most dangerous parts of the world Pen Farthing soon discovers it’s not only the human inhabitants of the Now Zad region of Afghanistan that need help. After encountering the sheer number of stray dogs in the area and the brutal sport of dog fighting that still takes place Pen just cannot just turn a blind eye. Driven on by the thought of his own dogs safe at home he steps in to break up a dog fight not realising this is just the beginning of a pretty big adventure & emotional rollercoaster. This book is one that will keep you up until the early hours if you choose to read a chapter just before bed. It has you gripped with what happens next. The dedication and determination shown throughout this tale illustrates that man can be dog’s best friend too. Even in the harshest of environments the bond between man and dog is still as strong. Pen and his fellow soldiers provide the dogs that end up in the compound with food, water and shelter. In return the dogs of Now Zad bring much needed loyalty, comfort and companionship to those soldiers stationed so far away from home. The book is an inspiring tale of one man’s mission to try and help the abandoned dogs of Helmand Province to safety and a real insight into the creation of the charity born from it – Nowzad Dogs charity no. 1119185 http://www.nowzaddogs.co.uk/ ″ Ebury Press http://www.rbooks.co.uk have kindly donated 5 copies of this wonderful book to Oldies Club for fundraising.
