HOW A LITTLE DOG CHANGED THE WORLD The true story of one little dog who helped bring an end to puppy farming in the UK. Lucy, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, was born into a Welsh puppy farm in 2008. She was repeatedly bred to produce litters of cute puppies, who were taken from her shortly after birth to be sold online and transported many miles across the UK. Life on a puppy farm is grim, and the dogs aren’t vaccinated, loved orlooked after. Lucy was rescued in 2013 and was in a terrible way – her spine was fused, she was covered in scalds and burns, blind in one eye, had crippling arthritis, separation anxiety, and was badly underweight. Her life turned around when she was chosen for adoption and rehabilitated by Lisa Garner, dog-lover extraordinaire. Lisa had shared her life with many dogs beforehand, but she recognised something extra special about little Lucy, and so their unique journey together began which would eventually change the world…
I was interested in this book as I have two dogs myself and feel so as when watching/reading about puppy breeding and puppy farms. Learning about the disgusting conditions where dogs are kept and breed to many times.
I found this book really eye opening to see what’s actually going on behind the pictures of the cute puppies families see and not behind the scenes. The way Marc didn’t give up on dogs just like Lucy, being their voice and making them heard
I’m not really sure on how to review this as it’s a good read but sad and at some points really hard to read.
I’d recommend reading this book if you are a dog/animal lover or wanting to read how Lucy’s law came up and the way puppy farms. I’ve attached the link below to buy it on amazon but it’s also for sale in Asda (I know this as my mum brought it the other day!)
