Anyone read Tea and Dog Biscuits?

chinamom2 · 12-01-2011, 04:22 PM

I picked up Tea and Dog Biscuits by Barrie Hawkins from the library and couldn't put it down. It covers the first year an English couple spends rescuing german shepherds. They had decided to do so to honor the memory of their belove german shepherd, Elsa.

The story is told by the husband and while he instills humor in the book, I also shed tears over the plight of some these dogs. The dedication and love this couple gives to each of the dogs is amazing and in the end who couldn't love a book about people who love and rescue german shepherds. Great read.

Thanks, I'm going to put it on my Christmas Wish List!

I read one called "A Dog's Purpose" which I loved. It's a fictional read by a good read.
