As his two Afghanistan rescue dogs adapt to life in the UK, Sunday Times bestselling author Pen Farthing finds his journey is far from over

To me it was just further evidence that, deep inside, there was a great dog struggling to find his way out'

Suddenly he has four dogs to look after - two of whom have never been house-trained.

'Nowzad was a gentle giant when it came to taking treats. He never, ever snatched. To me it was just further evidence that, deep inside, there was a great dog struggling to find his way out'

When Pen Farthing brings stray dogs Nowzad and Tali back from his tour of Afghanistan, little does he know what he has begun.

Suddenly he has four dogs to look after - two of whom have never been house-trained. And soon he is inundated with requests from other Marines and soldiers to help bring their rescued dogs home. Whether it's little Helmand, Fubar or Beardog, Pen does his utmost to give these dogs the chance they deserve.

No Place like Home is the true story of one man's courage and persistence as he struggles to give his dogs at home, and those still in Afghanistan, the best possible chance. It will warm - and break - the hearts of dog lovers everywhere.

Pen Farthing is absolutely wonderful, really truly my kind of hero -- Jilly Cooper
Pen's is a courageous story of how dog and solider become best friends in the most volatile of places and the unbreakable bond that exists between them. His commitment to his is work in Afghanistan is inspirational, and he is transforming dogs and our soldiers' lives too -- Cesar Millan
