Wylie : the brave street dog who never gave up

Farthing, Pen2014
Books, Manuscripts
For a street dog born in the city of Kandahar, Afghanistan, to be crowned top dog at Scruffts, a competition for rescued crossbreeds held during Crufts, the largest dog show on earth, is nothing short of a miracle. But for Wylie, the gentle, cropped-eared ball of fur, miracles seemed to happen quite regularly. Beaten and abused while being used as a bait dog, Wylie suffered terrible injuries that needed urgent treatment. Rescued close to death, with hacked off ears and a severed tail, he was attended to by soldiers who feared he would not last the night. Astonishingly he did, only to return days later with new injuries. However, a lifeline came when he was handed over to animal welfare charity Nowzad and flown to Britain in the hope of finding a new life. This is the story of a dog who never gave up hope.
