Author Description

Norwegian Borghild Strandenes runs a small non-profit rescue association in France, specialised in helping blind dogs and dogs suffering from trauma. In 2020 she flies to Cyprus to bring three blind dogs to France. Whilst on the island she is asked to visit a dog named Shakespeare, a dog that has sat "frozen "in a concrete corner for five years. No one has seen Shakespeare stand up, nor eat, as he will only eat and move in the night when there is no humans at the sanctuary. Shakespeare has been visited by trainers and behaviourists alike, who all say there's no hope for Shakespeare. He is a doomed dog, they say - only alive due to his beating heart. Then, one winter morning a meeting at a shelter, on a plateau in Cyprus changes both their lives forever - and through this memoir you can follow their magical, heartbreaking, uplifting, incredible journey.
