About this listen
Michelle Clark has loved animals all her life, filling her home with a menagerie of stray cats and abandoned dogs. But when her outreach work with London's homeless community leads to a chance meeting with a desperate man, and a quest to find a missing Staffie named Poppy, she has no idea that her life will be transformed forever.
Poppy is unlike any other dog that Michelle has ever met, with her unwavering loyalty, gentle nature and wise, kind eyes. Soon, Poppy finds her way not just into Michelle's heart, but into her home too.
Inspired Poppy's extraordinary love and devotion, Michelle finds herself at the start of a journey to bring hope and help to the hundreds of other precious dogs who call the city streets their home.
An inspiring, heartwarming true story about the incredible bond that exists between humans and animals, and how, in rescuing them, we can also rescue ourselves.©2020 Michelle Clark (P)2020 Orion Publishing Group

Genre: Animal Rights & True Story
About the Book: This is a true story about how Michelle has dedicated her life to Dogs living on the streets. In addition, when she became an outreach worker for the homeless; she met a wonderful dog called Poppy. Poppy inspired Michelle to create the ongoing project 'Cause 4 Paws'.
My Review: Michelle is such an inspiration! The way she has dedicated her life to helping the homeless and supporting dogs in need is remarkable. I have no idea how she has managed to dedicate that much time of her life and how she was able to afford everything that was involved. Yet, I can only wish I could make that sort of positive difference in my lifetime. Michelle clearly shows how the bereavement of a furbaby can be just as painful as of a human.
The book is clear, a good balance of show and tell and no over description.
I praise the author for showing awareness of how wonderful the breed Staffordshire Bull Terriers is and how they are unfairly stigmatized. Also, I praise the author for showing awareness of the complexity of homelessness and how life can change in an instant.
This story took me on a huge emotional rollercoaster, it evoked many emotions and I was brought to tears at least once. The ending was beautiful and I would love to hear more from this author in the future.
Triggers - Bereavement, homelessness, Alcholism, illegal Drugs and prostitution.
If you know anyone (or are someone) who has any prejudices towards people who are homeless or how bereavement of furbabies can be just as heartbreaking as of a human - I urge you to read this book.
High Praise for the Author!

Dogs and animals are a passion of mine so this story caught my interest as dogs that help people interest me due to having been lucky to own two guide dogs.
Michelle's and Poppies story was captivating from the start, this was not just the story of Michelle and Poppy however I gained a lot of insites into how dog owners who live on the street have such a special bond with there dogs and the other way round. It reminds me of the bond a grate partnership between an owner and there guide dog can have. I learned a lot about homeless people I did not know such as the difference between genuaine rough sleepers and people who might be faking. The importance of not judging someone as we don't know the cercomstances that brought them into that kind of life.
This was a very eye opening and enspiring book and it is wonderful to read about how Poppy helped Michelle start up this wonderful charity. If more people could take a leaf out of her book and help others the world would be a far better place both for people and animals.
A very heart warming and eye opening book.
