| book description |

Brought to you by Penguin. How do you welcome someone new into your home and heart? A week before Christmas, newly retired BBC journalist and award-winning Movers and Shakers podcaster Rory Cellan-Jones receives a special delivery that will change the course of his life. This is the story of #SophieFromRomania, told in full for the first time. In January 2022, the Cellan-Jones-Coyle family said goodbye to their beloved elderly Collie cross, Cabbage. She and Rory had become inseparable during daily pandemic walks, which alleviated his Parkinsonâ€™s symptoms. After a grief-stricken year, Rory and his wife Diane come across a listing for â€˜a kind girl who loves everybody and is just looking for her forever homeâ€™. Bright-eyed, big-eared and trembling, Sophie arrives in London on 17 December 2022. Rory holds the Romanian rescue in his arms, excited for their first walk together â€“ but the road ahead will be a long one . . . This book follows the real journey of Sophieâ€™s adoption â€“ from her battles with anxiety, to the joys of play and her first time outside â€“ as Rory and Diane work with expert dog trainer Si to win Sophieâ€™s trust, and navigate Roryâ€™s Parkinsonâ€™s disease. This is a moving story of love, kindness and a lot of patience, paying tribute to rescue dogs and their tender community. 'A DAILY DOSE OF HOPE' Jojo Moyes 'FILLS MY HEART WITH SO MUCH JOY' Niall Harbison Â© Rory Cellan-Jones 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024
