Nonfiction by Louise Allen
When the local government was alerted to a case of animal neglect on a remote farm in England, an investigator was sent out. Along with all the sick and half-starved horses and dogs found at and removed from the place, the investigator also found a little boy, tiny and frail, unable to walk or speak, curled under the table in a dog bed.
Named "Dog Boy" by the press, this child was Jacob, five years old but the size of a toddler. This story is about the efforts of his social worker and foster carers to help him. It was a really interesting book.
I also read recently by this author: Eden's Story
