A week before Christmas, newly retired BBC journalist Rory Cellan-Jones receives a special delivery that will change his life.  This is the story of rescue dog #SophieFromRomania.  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 Parkinson’s symptoms. After a grief-stricken year, Rory and his wife Diane come across a listing for ‘a kind girl who loves everybody and is just looking for her forever home’.  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 – but the road ahead will be a long one . . . This book follows the real journey of Sophie’s adoption – from her battles with anxiety, to the joys of play and her first time outside – as Rory and Diane work with expert dog trainer Si to win Sophie’s trust and navigate Rory’s Parkinson’s disease.  This is a moving story of love, kindness and a lot of patience, paying tribute to rescue dogs and their tender community.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669776490769,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781529918588.jpg?v=1781510184","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-sophie-from-romania-by-rory-cellan-jones","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
