Book ID/图书代码： 00200008B26976
English Summary/英文概要： This is the remarkable true story of how one man saved the stray dogs of Afghanistan. In a remote outpost of Now Zad, in Helmand Province, Pen Farthing and his troup of young Royal Marines survive frequent engagements with the Taliban and forge links with the local community. Pen’s tour of duty will change his life forever, but for entirely unexpected reasons ...Appalled by the horrors of a local dog fight, he intervenes to free the victims. One of these dogs finds his way into the Marine compound - and into Pen’s heart. Soon other strays are being drawn to the santuary provided by Pen’s makeshift pound, including one young mum who crawls under the compound fence carrying her newborn pups to safety. But as his tour of duty draws to an end, Pen cannot leave the dogs of Now Zad to their own fates. He begins hatching plans to help them escape to a better life. This is Pen’s gripping account of his time in Now Zad, the friends he made there and the remarkable journey they - and he - undertook. Above all, it is the story of one man’s courage and humanity and his fight to make a difference in the most hostile and dangerous environment - one dog at a time.
