NO PLACE LIKE HOME: A NEW BEGINNING WITH THE DOGS OF AFGHANISTAN
Book ID/图书代码: 00200010B41830
English Summary/英文概要: When Pen Farthing brought two dogs home from his tour of Afghanistan, little did he know what he had begun. Twelve months later, he has left the Marines, after 20 years service, to run his charity full time. But he barely has a chance to miss life in action, as he is inundated with requests from marines and soldiers to give more rescued dogs the chance of a new life in the West. Whether it’s little Helmand, Fubar or Beardog – or the unruly litter known as the Char Badmashis or Four Hooligans – Pen does his upmost to give these dogs the chance they deserve. It is a frustrating and sometimes dangerous process, and while some dogs make it out to safety, others, tragically, do not. But a look out the window to see his own Afghan hounds, Now Zad and Tali, with bright eyes and glossy coats tells him it’s all worthwhile. Like his Sunday Times bestseller One Dog at a Time, No Place Like Home is the story of one man’s courage and persistence in the face of often insurmountable odds. It will warm – and break – the hearts of dog lovers everywhere.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 當你情緒低落時,它能給你最好的慰籍。
它不求回報,那一個個生命曾感動過多少人的生活。當他的兩條阿富汗血統的狗狗漸漸適應了英國的生活時,英國星期日泰晤士報的暢銷書作者Pen Farthing(潘•法爾辛)發現自己的人生旅程還遠未結束。
‘Nowzad曾是一隻溫柔的大狗,當它得到善待時。他從來沒有爭搶過食物。對我來說那只是更初步的印象,在內心深處,有一隻強壯的狗狗正在努力的尋找著自己的方向’
當潘•法爾辛在阿富汗漫遊時,把兩隻迷途的狗狗Nowzad 和 Tali帶回駐地時,他一點也不知道自己的人生會從此發生改變。
突然間他有了四條狗需要照看— 其中兩隻狗從未被人類豢養過。不久之後他收到了來自其他陸戰隊和士兵的援助大量請求,要把他們獲救的狗狗帶回家。不管它是小Helmand(赫爾曼德省/阿富汗西省名),Fubar(無法識別的)或是Beardog(芬蘭狗)種狗。潘為這些狗狗盡可能地爭取了應得的機會。
《No Place like/讓愛回家》是關於一個男人勇於為家犬和那些仍然滯留在阿富汗的狗狗們堅持不懈地,努力創造最好機會的故事。這部小說會傳遞給世界各地愛狗人士,溫暖和感動。 (Sandy)

About the Author/作者介绍: 歷經了20多年的皇家海軍陸戰隊員之後,我從未想到自己會中途放棄對攀岩和皮划艇的熱情,轉而投身動物保護公益方向。
但一條叫Nowzad的狗狗改變了我對人生的看法。它還點燃了我寫作的熱情。現在我把時間儘量花在Nowzad的慈善事業上,偶爾享受著為數不多的攀岩,當天氣好的時候,和阿富汗血統的狗狗/在伊拉克收養的(Nowzad, Tali,)。
到目前為之,我已經寫了兩部‘One Dog at a Time/狗狗的幸福奇蹟’和‘No Place like Home/讓愛回家’兩部關於狗狗的書,這兩部書都由Ebury出版發行,我希望後繼還會有更多的這樣的作品問世— 只是要等待Nowzad能賜予我一些靈感和幾杯醇酒……
我最好的夥伴是個土老冒……但那是另一個故事……!
我喜歡你能喜歡這些關於狗狗的書,如果你感興趣的話,請查閱Nowzad的網站nowzad.com。
