Product Description
From the Author
Tilly is a very special little dog. She was unwanted, unkempt and barely recognizable as a dog when we first found her. Her story is a canine tale of a triumph against the odds. From being a 'scruffy mutt' in a rescue sanctuary she has become a star at agility and search and rescue work and is 'pack leader' to our family of rescued dogs. I hope her story will go some way towards raising awareness of the plight of abandoned, abused and neglected dogs around the world and also the wonderful work performed by those who staff the various rescue centers and dog sanctuaries who care for them and help to find them loving caring homes.
Harry Porter,
Author,

Tilly's Tale is a wonderfull childrens book , it tells the story of her life in her own words , from having a lovely warm home to being cast out into the cold elements feeling very sad and alone , not knowing why . Animals feel the same emotions as us , hurt , pain and sadness , this book can give children an insight into this . Does Tilly get a happy ending ? I would say buy this book and find out as your child reads it , you won't be dissapointed . Oh and just to let you know , this is a true story .

I know from experience what inspires youngsters and the sort of stories that appeal to them. This book has all the right ingredients, including delightful pictures.
Children will enjoy reading this book themselves. And younger children having it read to them. It is inspiring and speaks of the emotions of those who rely on others for their essential needs, protection and comfort. Children can relate to this -- for themselves and their own pets. Teachers would enjoy reading this book to their young pupils. I have no doubt that the children would be inspired to write both about Tilly and their own pet, and to paint pictures too. They could also be involved in drama using the book's theme. I almost wish I was still teaching!
A delightful story for any age.
Well done Harry Porter and Mandy Hedrick

I just had the privilege of reading the most heart-warming beautifully written and illustrated book about a rescue dog called Tilly.
Tilly's Tale by Harry Porter is an inspiration. We see from Tilly's point of view what life is really like. Following the death of her much loved owner Sam, Tilly finds her entire world has changed and not for the better--not at first. But then Tilly finds love and caring in the person of Harry Porter and his family.
This is a tale for everyone and especially for those of us, like me, who know just how much love dogs are capable of giving.
I think of it as a canine Oliver Twist because it has the drama, pathos cruelty and deep and abiding love that Dickens wrote about.
When you read this little gem you'll see what I mean. Harry Porter has managed to give voice to Tilly and by doing so he gives all dogs everywhere a chance to ask of us one thing--to be treated with respect. Surely that is only right.
Thank you, Tilly and Harry for the eloquent and moving account of one rescued dog's journey from lost to found and to the love and care Tilly and all dogs deserve.
