Sgt. Pen Farthing went to the Middle East a soldier and came home a savior.
For all the fighting Farthing was sent to do, it was playing peacemaker that changed his life forever. A member of the British Royal Marines, Farthing, now 41, was deployed to the town of Now Zad in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan in November 2006. One day near his compound, he saw two dogs fighting and went over to break it up. Little did he expect that one of the dogs in the fight would become a dear friend.
Pen has recently gone on tour in the USA to promote the book ‘One Dog at a Time’ and to promote the work of Nowzad in Afghanistan and Iraq.

At first glance, Connie seems like a normal dog. She likes sniffing around, being scratched and the occasional chew toy. She’s a typical dog, but she has a very unique story.
