About this listen

A heartwarming tale of abandoned dogs and their saviours

Among the cobblestone villages and towns of rural Bulgaria, a dedicated team of unsung heroes led by Emma and Anthony Smith works tirelessly to change the destiny of street dogs. These animals are abandoned and neglected, and sometimes in danger, until Street Hearts step in to provide them with a second chance.

In this heartwarming and inspiring tale, we meet the remarkable dogs they rescue and learn how an army of volunteers goes about it. Each with their own unique story of resilience and yearning for affection, a cast of characters including Tipsy, Big Lad, Mr Wiggles and Roshy the Wonder Dog will steal your heart and challenge your preconceptions about what it means to love and be loved.

Through the eyes of these resilient canines and their heroic rescuers this book reveals the profound bond that develops between them and it follows the stories of those who have given the dogs new lives in Britain and elsewhere.

Get ready to be inspired, to laugh, to cry, and to fall in love with the indomitable spirit of these street dogs and the heroes who fight for them.

A story of compassion, courage and commitment mainly from Emma & Anthony, but also from all the participants. It shows how working together can achieve incredible results and I am so glad that they have put their story this far in writing. I was moved and hooked, loved the changes in narrative between Emma, Anthony and others as well as the then and now perspective. Definitely worth listening to if you care about animal welfare! Bulgaria should be forever grateful to Emna & Anthony for their example and all they continue to do.
(The only slight niggle I have with the audio version is the mispronunciation of most of the Bulgarian names but only those with Bulgarian connections will notice)

A very moving account of the challenges faced trying to improve the lives of the street dogs in Bulgaria
