Barrie and Dorothy Hawkins don't quite realize what they are getting themselves into when they take on the challenge of rescuing and fostering orphan dogs. Every canine character has a surprise in store; among them are Monty, the dog with a taste for cheese; Oscar, who has never been walked or played with but finds a new zest for life at the age of twelve; and Digby, the enormous ex–guard dog who, when he’s not squashing daisies, is squashing Barrie’s foot. Barrie and Dorothy welcome them all into their hearts and home, doing whatever it takes to change the dogs' lives for the better—and in the process changing their own lives, too. The Washington Post - Yvonne Zipp Tea and Dog Biscuits offers good-natured storytelling, judicious use of self-deprecating humor and a genuine love of its subject.
