'When people gave up on Wylie, Wylie refused to give up on people.'
For a street dog born in the city of Kandahar, Afghanistan, to be
crowned top dog at Scruffts, a competition for rescued crossbreeds held
during Crufts, the largest dog show on earth, is nothing short of a
miracle. But for Wylie, the gentle, cropped eared ball of fur, miracles
seemed to happen quite regularly.
Beaten and abused while being used as a bait dog, Wylie suffered
terrible injuries that needed urgent treatment. Rescued close to death,
with hacked off ears and a severed tail, he was attended to by soldiers
who feared he would not last the night. Astonishingly he did, only to
return days later with new injuries.
However a lifeline came when he was handed over to animal welfare
Charity Nowzad and flown to Britain in the hope of finding a new life.
But would anyone take a chance on a seemingly nervous and undomesticated
stray? Luckily for Wylie his biggest adventure yet was about to begin...
This is the incredible and heart-warming story, full of tragedy and
triumph, of a dog who never gave up hope.
