Interpretation To Books John & George: The Dog Who Saved My Life
This is the incredible true story of how one man turned his life around through the companionship of his best friend. For years, John Dolan had been living rough, trying his best to get by. Born and bred on the estates of east London, his early life was marked by neglect and abuse, and his childhood gift for drawing was stamped out by the tough realities outside his front door. As he grew older, he found himself turning to petty crime to support himself and ended up in prison. On coming out, with a record and no trade, he soon found himself on the streets, surviving day-by-day, living hand-to-mouth. It wasn't until he met George, a tearaway Staffy puppy, that his life changed for the better. To begin with, George was a handful: he had been abused himself and was scared of human contact. But in a matter of weeks. John and George had become inseparable. It was then that John decided to pick up his long-forgotten gift for drawing, sitting on Shoreditch High Street for hours at a time, sketching pictures of George which he would sell to passers-by. With his best friend by his side, and a pencil in his hand, John suddenly found his life's calling. Last autumn, John put on his first gallery show just across the road from where he had sat and sketched for three years. It sold out. Now, John and George are no longer homeless and live just around the corner from where they first met on the streets.Particularize Books Supposing John & George: The Dog Who Saved My Life

A heart-warming story of how a dog really can turn someone's life around. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Una historia dura pero honesta en la que se describe la tremenda conexión que suponen esos bichitos que denominamos animales de compañÃa y que son mucho más que eso, nuestra familia, aunque eso solo entendemos quienes compartimos nuestra vida con uno de ellos.Me encanta saber que es un hecho real y que la historia continua por buen camino.
I usually don't like comparing authors or books but this time parallelity with A Street Cat Named Bob: How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets is glaring. I gave both books five stars and I really liked Bowen's book but John & George is better written and told, it does have nice pictures & illustrations by the author. Some of Dolan's drawnings can be seen hereOn a side note this summary is misleading. Makes me wonder if a person who wrote it wasn't told basic stuff about John
Una autobiografÃa del dibujante John Dolan escrita de una manera sencilla, emotiva y natural que nos va trasmitiendo los sentimientos de este hombre a lo largo de una vida complicada, triste y dura a la que va a dar otro sentido su perro George llenándola de fuerza y esperanza. Una manera especial de darle las gracias a un perro por su amistad, ayuda y por dar sentido a una vida destrozada. Un libro para todos, pero que recomiendo especialmente a los amantes de los perros porque entendemos muy
An incredible story of one man & his Staffie George.
