Book description
'Nowzad was a gentle giant when it came to taking treats. He never,
ever snatched. To me it was just further evidence that, deep inside,
there was a great dog struggling to find his way out'
When Pen Farthing brings stray dogs Nowzad and Tali back from
his tour of Afghanistan, little does he know what he has begun.
Suddenly he has four dogs to look after - two of whom have never
been house-trained. And soon he is inundated with requests from other
Marines and soldiers to help bring their rescued dogs home. Whether
it's little Helmand, Fubar or Beardog, Pen does his utmost to give
these dogs the chance they deserve.
No Place like Home is the true story of one man's courage and
persistence as he struggles to give his dogs at home, and those still
in Afghanistan, the best possible chance. It will warm - and break -
the hearts of dog lovers everywhere.
A passion for the outdoors and a love of doing everything the hard
way caused Pen Farthing to pop into a Royal Marine careers office one
day aged 18 to take on the toughest infantry training in the world to
earn the coveted Green Beret of the Commandos. His military career,
which has included tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, lasted over twenty
years. Since publication of the
Sunday Times
bestseller
