Shakespeare : The dog with a broken brain

Borghild Strandenes is a Norwegian woman living in France where she runs a small non-profit rescue association, specialised in helping blind dogs and dogs suffering from trauma. In 2020 she flies to Cyprus to bring three blind dogs to France. Whilst on the island she meets Shakespeare, a dog that has sat “frozen “in a concrete corner for five years. Noone has seen Shakespeare stand up, nor eat, as he will only eat and move in the night when there is no humans at the sanctuary. Shakespeare has been visited by trainers and behaviourists alike, who all say there’s no hope for Shakespeare. He is a doomed dog, they say – only alive due to his beating heart.

Then, one winter morning a meeting at a shelter, on a plateau in Cyprus changes both their lives forever - and through this memoir you can follow their magical, heartbreaking, uplifting, incredible journey

Incredibly heart wrenching and at the same time I feel such deep gratitude and admiration towards those people who gives so much of their soul to save the precious animals, others have tried to destroy. Thank you! ❤️ I once had a dog almost identical with Shakespeare in both body and mind. I found him on a beach in Greece and though he sadly is no longer I still mourn him and always will 💔❤️
