Synopsis

One cold February night, a terrified feral dog was carried into the author s home, and began a very different life to everything he had previously known. This is the true story of the extraordinary bond that developed between Lisa and Charlie, a one-eyed Romanian feral dog, who had lived wild until he was captured and sent to the UK to be homed. Unused to the presence of people, Charlie had no coping skills other than to follow his instincts. Although Lisa had worked with many deeply troubled dogs, the challenges posed by Charlie s background were unique. Wild, fearful and highly reactive, more wolf than dog, Charlie needed a great deal of understanding, patience and compassion in order to help him adjust to his new life.  Despite numerous obstacles and setbacks, the developing relationship between Charlie and Lisa, and  Lisa s daughter, Amber, and resident dog, Skye, transformed all of their lives. Charlie s gradual shift from fearful feral  to happy, affectionate, fun-loving family dog is touching and heart-warming, and clearly demonstrates the transformative power of love and kindness.

Review:

Everyone can take something from Charlie's story. There are messages of hope scattered throughout this book which highlight the power of love not only for dogs, but all animals, not only for animals but humanity. And that is something quite extraordinary. To read this book is to nurture one's soul. --The Glass House

I would recommend this book to children and/or adults as it is a fantastic book, I couldn't put it down. --naturallyhappydogs.com

A beautiful, heart-warming and sincere account of the developing and loving relationship between human and man s best friend. Charlie, The Dog Who Came in from the Wild takes you through an extraordinary journey of overcoming fear and behaviour issues through patience, trust, compromise and understanding for both Charlie and his wonderful guardian, Lisa. It highlights the changes and sacrifices we are prepared to make as a compromise for co-existing with another animal who has not asked to live with us but who has learnt to love us all the same. This book is a must read for anyone who has an interest in dog compassion, feelings and care. It teaches us not just about the suitcase of emotions dogs can display and feel (and how quickly these can change), but how dogs view their world and the sensitivities that surround them. The resilience of the dog-human bond is remarkable and unbreakable. With trust, compassion, patience, understanding, love and care, canines will always remain as man s best friend...and sidekick! A great lesson about dogs and a great lesson for their human brethren; a lesson that can be transferred to all animals, including ourselves! --Dr Isla Fishburn, Holistic dog behaviourist
