“Tea and Dog Biscuits”
Barrie Hawkins
2009, 254 pages
Nonfiction
Barrie and Dorothy Hawkins decided to start a rescue of German shepherd dogs after losing their beloved dog, Elsa. They planned to start slowly, but while Dorothy is in the hospital, Barrie finds that the word is already out about their plan. Dorothy arrives home to not one new rescue dog, but two! One is a massive, energetic black dog from a homeless man, and the other is a quiet all-white dog named Pearl. Pearl’s young owner was terminally ill and couldn’t keep her. Barrie couldn’t say no to either.
There are some heartbreaking stories about the dogs’ lives before they come to Barrie and Dorothy and some wonderful, happy endings as they find homes for their rescued dogs.
