• 12 two-week-old German Shepherd mix puppies.
• a toothless Yorkshire Terrier mix named Phyllis, whose dour demeanor doesn’t deter Paul’s dogged determination to show her affection.
• a Great Dane mix called Faith, who was so malnourished that she was unable to walk when she arrived at Battersea, but is now making great strides toward recovery thanks to the organization’s compassionate staff.
• Buddy and Bobby, a Shih Tzu mix and a Bichon Frise who are welcomed at Battersea when their pet parent becomes too ill to care for them.
• Tulula, a Sharpei whose senses of sight and hearing are failing.
• …and Buddy, a nine-year-old, three-legged Staffordshire Bull Terrier who causes a collective lump in the throats of Battersea’s clinic team when a lump is discovered on his chest.
