Sophie from Romania : what a rescue dog taught me about patience, love and hope
Cellan-Jones, Rory2025
Book
In January 2022, the Cellan-Jones-Coyle family said goodbye to their beloved elderly Collie Cross, Cabbage. Newly retired, Rory had become inseparable from her during daily pandemic walks which alleviated his Parkinson's Disease symptoms. After a grief-stricken year, Rory and his wife Diane contemplated opening up their hearts again and came across a dog 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 in a van from Central Europe on 17th December. 'Sophie from Romania' follows the journey of her adoption - from her battles with anxiety, to the joys of play and her first foray outside - as Rory and Diane work with expert dog trainer Si to win Sophie's trust, and navigate Rory's Parkinson's diagnosis.
