One Dog at a TimeBy Pen Farthing · Narrated by Kerry Hutchinson - with an introduction read by the author. 'Thick with rolls of gleaming, new wire, the obstacle was designed to prevent a suicide bomber driving into the compound’s thick mud walls. Today, however, it had only succeeded in stopping a small, white, terrified-looking dog. I knew that the Taliban could be hiding in any one of these buildings just waiting for one of us. But I knew I couldn’t just walk away.' In a remote outpost of Now Zad, in Helmand Province, Pen Farthing’s tour of duty will change his life forever, but for entirely unexpected reasons...Appalled by the horrors of a local dog fight, he intervenes to free the victims. One of these dogs finds his way into the Marine compound - and into Pen’s heart.
