DOG DAYS IN ANDALUCIA: TAILS FROM SPAIN
Book ID/图书代码: 08430009B32787
English Summary/英文概要: A heart-warming true story about how a couple moved to Spain, took in a clutch of abandoned dogs and quickly became part of the community of the small village, of Frigilana in Andalucia, in which they settled. They acquired the first dog, a stray, by accident when a family who had adopted it for the week they were on holiday met them one night in a bar and asked if they would look after it. The second they saved from being drowned by his owner. Twelve years on they have 10 dogs and 8 cats of their own and regularly foster tiny strays that need bottle-feeding until they can find them homes. In 2007, 123 puppies and kittens passed through their door, in 2008, 119 and in 2009 they are still counting. Comparable to Marley and Me by John Grogan, Driving Over Lemons by Chris Stewart and Sacred Sierra by Jason Webster, Dog Days in Andalucia is an entertaining and uplifting account of how one couple turned their dreams into reality.
