Dylan's Tale is the second in the series Harry Porter's Dog Tales, which tell the stories of seven dogs rescued from lives of abuse or neglect. The series began with Tilly's Tale, and the beautiful Bedlington Terrier, Dylan, soon joined Tilly. Dylan is a "posh" dog, meaning a pure breed with pedigree and proud heritage. He is the "aristocrat" of Porter's pack of rescue dogs.
Beaten, battered and abused for the first eleven months of his life, Dylan found a new lease of life after being rescued and placed in the loving warmth of Harry Porter's family of rescue dogs. With many hurdles to overcome, including fear of humans and with the threat of being beaten always in his mind, Dylan found love when he least expected it. Read his uplifting story in this enchanting book from the pen of dog lover and rescuer, Harry Porter

Dylan’s Tale - Harry Porter - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat
“Do you know what it’s like to wake up every day and be afraid? I did. I was just a few weeks old when I was taken from my mother, a tiny Bedlington Terrier puppy, all cute and cuddly as puppies always are. Being a puppy at home with my mother was just great. My two brothers and sisters would play with me all day long until we’d get tired. Then we’d curl up beside Mum, and have a good sleep. Mum would feed us all regularly, and we soon grew bigger and stronger… After the warmth and the love and security of living with my mother and my brothers and sisters, it came as quite a shock when one day, the lady who looked after all of us took me from my mother and sold me to a man, who, right from the time he got me back to his home, seemed to enjoy making my life as miserable as possible.”
Dylan is a Bedlington Terrier which is known for its speed and the fact that it looks somewhat like a sheep. Dylan’s new owner decided that due to his speed, he would make a good dog for rabbit hunting. But the man was without patience and would kick and beat Dylan when he didn’t follow orders.
If you’ve read Tilly’s Tale you already know that Dylan will be rescued, but it’s the hardships leading up to the rescue, the unlikely person who actually rescues him and how he allows trust back into his life that makes the story so precious. This wonderful true story had me crying tears of sadness by the time I'd reached page 3, and at the end, I cried again, but this time, with tears of relief and happiness for Dylan. If you’re an animal lover, you can’t help but love this series of “Tales” which started with Tilly’s Tale, continued to Dylan’s Tale and will soon be extended to Charlie’s Tale. These heartwarming stories will have you hooked from book one.

I Loved this book. It was everything I expected and so much more. I look forward to reading the stories of the other puppies as well. I also Loved knowing there rescue dogs. My son who is 3 and my husband also Loved the book just as much as I did. I will be buying these as gifts as I think anyone who has a pet should read them as they show us how to treat our animals.
