From the acclaimed author of A Dog Like Ralph and The Diary of a Human and a Dog, comes a touching narrative about a greyhound named Peggy. For the initial four years of her life, Peggy was among the countless greyhounds subjected to racing – bred and trained to run at breakneck speeds for the profit of their owners. Once she stopped winning, she lost her value to the industry.
However, Peggy was one of the fortunate ones. She found refuge in a greyhound rescue charity after her racing days, where she patiently awaited a loving home for another year. That’s when Clare found her. Captivated by a picture of Peggy on the rescue shelter’s webpage, Clare knew instantly that Peggy was destined to become part of her family.
Thus, Peggy transitioned from a life on the track to becoming a cherished member of Clare’s family, bonding with her other dog, the anxious quasi-greyhound, Ralph. In this book, Peggy recounts her life journey from the grim racing tracks to her blissful domestic life with Ralph and Lucy – the tiny dog with a big personality.
This is a heartwarming tale about the enduring bonds between dogs and the significant impact we humans have on their lives. While particularly suitable for dog-loving older teenagers, this book is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever opened their heart and home to a rescue dog.
