The Rescued One

Front cover of my ebook featuring a headshot of a Jack Russell Terrier dog and the title 'The Rescued One; A Happy Tail' and author's name Gwyneth Lockwood. Dark burgundy border.
A lighthearted and informative ebook featuring some of the dogs I've helped transport to rescue. I explain how dogs can find themselves on death row through no fault of their own and how an army of volunteers help them to find their Furever Family. It's a heartwarming Happy Tail! Available now to download from Amazon. Click on the cover to visit.
