Take Me Home: Tales of Battersea Dogs

A moving and funny snapshot of life in the world’s most famous dog refuge, full of true stories about the plucky hounds who live there. A must for any dog-lover! This enchanting look at life in Britain’s most-loved dogs’ home is author Melissa Wareham’s memoir of fifteen years working there. It will introduce you to some of the many thousands of lost pets with big personalities who have passed through Battersea’s doors.
