About this listen

Can a dog mend a broken heart?

When a stray dog walks into a sleepy Chiltern village, she touches the lives of many people there, but can she help the recently widowed Alfie Ellis, who has been living a kind of half life since the loss of his wife of 43 years?

A Dog Called Hope is a touching and heartwarming novella of 49 pages from the best-selling author of A Weekend with Mr. Darcy and Wish You Were Here.

Loved the story nicely narrated definitely some thing to cheer you up wish there were more animal stories

Loved the story

I enjoy Ms Connelly's work as a rule and this was no exception. It is a short listen and can be scoffed in an hour or so.
I really liked the way the love story this time involved a man and a dog rather than a man and a woman. I also enjoyed the depiction of Alfie's home and village. It made me want to walk along the riverbank with him. Alfie and Hope are both such lovable characters.
I recommend this story for a relaxing hour of escapism (especially if you love animals)

Short and sweet

Really enjoyed this little story. The narrator was very clear and easy to understand and her voice was likeable. A wonderful story of an abandoned dog bringing new hope to a grieving family. Enjoying listening to audio books, it's relaxing and entertaining at the same time. Would recommend this audiobook for all ages even young adults who sometimes struggle to pick a book up.

Sweet, little story
