Charlie: the Dog Who Came in from the Wild by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma

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, 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.

"Charlie, the Dog Who came in From the Wild is a book that transcends the world of rescue, the world of dog guardianship and the notion of simply loving dogs for who they areThis is a story of mutual learning, of developing trust and of facing the most pertinent questions that lie at the heart of 'rescue'. This is an important story for anyone who shares their life with a fearful dog and provides much needed education for professionals working with dogs. Charlie's experience of his new reality is shared beautifully by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma who, along with Team Charlie, provides inspiration, education and an honest portrayal of life with a feral dog. The lessons from Charlie, with Lisa's incredible understanding of canine psychology and behaviour, offer a profound insight into the power of the human-canine bond." - "Marie Yates, founder of Canine Perspective CIC" Exceptionally well written, "Charlie: The Dog Who Came In From The Wild" will have a very special and engaging appeal to canine companions and dog lovers everywhere.
