Whipped, beaten and abused for the first year of his life, Dylan was eventually left tied to the gates of a dog sanctuary, with a note telling of his treatment. The fates were smiling on the little Bedlington terrier however, as the author and his family adopted him the very same day, and Dylan began his life as part of the author’s Family of Rescuedogs and has been with them longer than any of their other dogs.

From his appearance at a national dog show, to chasing squirrels in the forest, Dylan has led a wonderful, happy life since being rescued.

Now fifteen years old, almost deaf and blind, and having survived two strokes, Dylan is still full of life, and living up to his nickname of ‘The Flying Bedlington’. This is his story.
