One cold February night, a terrified feral dog was carried into the author's home, and began a very different life to everything he had previously known. This is the true story of the extraordinary bond that developed between Lisa and Charlie, a one-eyed Romanian feral dog, who had lived wild until he was captured and sent to the UK to be homed. Unused to the presence of people, Charlie had no coping skills other than to follow his instincts. Although Lisa had worked with many deeply troubled dogs, the challenges posed by Charlie's background were unique. Wild, fearful and highly reactive, more wolf than dog, Charlie needed a great deal of understanding, patience and compassion in order to help him adjust to his new life.
Despite numerous obstacles and setbacks, the developing relationship between Charlie and Lisa, and Lisa's daughter, Amber, and resident dog, Skye, transformed all of their lives. Charlie's gradual shift from fearful feral to happy, affectionate, fun-loving family dog is touching and heart-warming, and clearly demonstrates the transformative power of love and kindness.

Charlie: The dog who came in from the wild, by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma Review
"Charlie, the Dog Who came in From the Wild is a book that transcends the world of rescue, the world of dog guardianship and the notion of simply loving dogs for who they are. This is a story of mutual learning, of developing trust and of facing the most pertinent questions that lie at the heart of 'rescue'. This is an important story for anyone who shares their life with a fearful dog and provides much needed education for professionals working with dogs. Charlie's experience of his new reality is shared beautifully by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma who, along with Team Charlie, provides inspiration, education and an honest portrayal of life with a feral dog. The lessons from Charlie, with Lisa's incredible understanding of canine psychology and behaviour, offer a profound insight into the power of the human-canine bond." - Marie Yates, founder of Canine Perspective CIC
"Charlie, the Dog who came in from the Wild", written by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, is a beautiful book that works so well on many different levels. On one level you have Charlie's story - what limited information Lisa has of his life in the wild in Romania, how he came to live with her, the progress he has made, and the new life and friends he has found. On another level it is a story of human commitment, patience, love, knowledge and understanding. How not just Lisa but a whole team of people came together to help Charlie find his way in this new world he found himself in. The willingness of Lisa and "Team Charlie" to go the extra mile to help him is inspirational, and demonstrates the huge changes that can be made when people pull together.
On yet another level the book is educational, as Lisa outlines the research she has undertaken and the knowledge gained in her endeavours to help Charlie settle, as well as her approach to forming a relationship with him based on trust and understanding. It is also thought provoking as Lisa does not avoid the difficult questions, such as - am I Charlie's rescuer or captor? Was it right to remove him from an environment which he knew and understood? Neither does she avoid describing the "wild soul" aspect of Charlie's character which emerges under particular circumstances.
This is a deeply moving, honest book, whilst avoiding any over-sentimentality. Lisa and Charlie's relationship is rooted firmly in reality, and is all the stronger for that. Definitely a must read for anyone interested in dogs and their position in our human world. - Chris Kent Project Founder and Programme Lead of the K9 Project, Author of the inspirational story of the K9 Project- "What a Difference a Dog Makes"
"Everyone can take something from Charlie's story. There are messages of hope scattered throughout this book which highlight the power of love not only for dogs, but all animals, not only for animals but humanity. And that is something quite extraordinary. To read this book is to nurture one's soul." - The Glass House
"Exceptionally well written, "Charlie: The Dog Who Came In From The Wild" will have a very special and engaging appeal to canine companions and dog lovers everywhere. A thoroughly absorbing and entertaining read from beginning to end." - Midwest Book Review
"What do you get when you pair a frenzied, one-eyed Romanian feral dog with a dynamic British author and rescue advocate?Enough adventure and challenge for a lifetime - as you will discover in this evocative narrative that brims with tension one minute and passion the next." - Seattle Kennel Club
"This book gives valuable insight to anyone considering adopting and sharing their lives with a rescue dog. Join the author as she takes you on her step by step journey, setting about socialising Charlie to his new world, and be guided by her indispensable advice in how to deal with the many behavioural problems often associated with dogs that are introduced to unfamiliar and scary new surroundings. The flick of each page will touch your heart as you experience what life is like on both sides of the fence, living with and gaining the trust of a dog like Charlie. It is, in short, a gem." - Maxwell Muir, Action 4 Dogs
"This is a beautifully written book where Lisa's depth of knowledge and experience empowers the reader to understand the soaring highs and painful lows of adopting a terrified feral dog. Her insights and explanations from both the human and dog's point of view are exceptional, and can be empathised and implemented on by any dog owner or anyone considering adopting a dog. Highly recommended reading for any dog lover." - Sally Hopkins, renowned dog trainer and lecturer and the designer of dog harnesses, collars and leads, including the Perfect Fit harness that Charlie wears.
"What a book this is. Such a beautifully written, heart warming, honest story of trust and friendship, and such an important educational guide as to the realities of taking on a rescue dog. I think this is a very important book for so many people who are living with fearful dogs. Some people really struggle to understand dogs with such concerns - they think there is something 'wrong' and don't understand that dogs such as these have such limited life experiences - even someone sneezing is utterly overwhelming for them - nor do they appreciate the impact a coat hung on a different peg can have as the dog is learning to process the environment in which he has been placed.
Agression in street dogs months after being placed in a home is really common. Many of these dogs were okay in the shelter and their rescuers and guardians are stunned and surprised when it all falls apart as they really do not understand that these dogs are on sensory overload, and so many choices have been taken away from them when well-meaning humans do their best to save a life. It really is a wonderful, wonderful book - thank you so much for sharing Charlie with the world." - Sarah Fisher, author and animal behaviour counsellor
"A beautiful, heart-warming and sincere account of the developing and loving relationship between human and man s best friend. Charlie, The Dog Who Came in from the Wild takes you through an extraordinary journey of overcoming fear and behaviour issues through patience, trust, compromise and understanding for both Charlie and his wonderful guardian, Lisa. It highlights the changes and sacrifices we are prepared to make as a compromise for co-existing with another animal who has not asked to live with us but who has learnt to love us all the same. This book is a must read for anyone who has an interest in dog compassion, feelings and care. It teaches us not just about the suitcase of emotions dogs can display and feel (and how quickly these can change), but how dogs view their world and the sensitivities that surround them. The resilience of the dog-human bond is remarkable and unbreakable. With trust, compassion, patience, understanding, love and care, canines will always remain as man s best friend...and sidekick! A great lesson about dogs and a great lesson for their human brethren; a lesson that can be transferred to all animals, including ourselves!" - Dr Isla Fishburn, Holistic dog behaviourist
"A fascinating must-read for those who are considering adopting or caring for a feral dog or stray. Throughout my charity's work in Romania, and as an adopter of stray dogs myself, I have come to notice many of the same behaviors as this book states. Not only does the author go into the behavior, but she gives us enlightenment as to why certain behaviors occur and the appropriate, compassionate responses to alleviate fear and anxiety. The reader understands how the dog's brain works, their perception, sees the world through their eyes, or in Charlie's case, his one eye. Welcoming a rejected soul into a loving and stable environment takes compassion, love, determination, and utmost kindness. The trials and tribulations will warm your heart, perhaps bring a tear to your eye, have you bursting into laughter on occasion, but primarily give you, the reader, insight as to how compassion for those less fortunate is not only a gift for the rescued dog, but a gift of eternal fulfillment and feeling of worthiness for us as humans. Thank you, Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, for reaching out to people who care. A true gift of the heart." - Nancy Janes, founder, President and CEO of Romania Animal Rescue, Inc., Animal Spay Neuter International, and Homeless Animal Hospital.

From Wild to Wonderful, The Dog Who Stole My Heart By Socrates The day I got word that “Charlie, The Dog Who Came in from the Wild” was going into second printing, I was more than overjoyed. It’s a wonderful book full of great advice, lessons, and inspiration. Lisa writes with love, compassion and a knowledge of dog behavior that is astonishing. She approaches animal, and human, behavior from a crystalline point of view. What I may have originally thought about dogs and how they act is gently corrected and refashioned throughout this work. I am grateful for what I learned from Lisa through her colorful and descriptive recounting of adopting a feral one-eyed dog from Romania. Every page has something for everybody and you don’t have to own a dog to appreciate the content, but it adds extra depth if you do.Not every day in Lisa’s life was fabulous with her adoptee Charlie, but they ended up having a bond that rivals the greatest canine love stories of all times. Lisa was one day elated at the progress and the next day devastated by a setback. Yet, through it all, she kept liver and cheese stuffed in her pockets to begin anew. In under a year Lisa and her beautiful daughter Amber gave a wild dog a new life. In exchange, he brought them the greatest joys you could imagine. And, he was hilarious! The things he did made me laugh, shake my head and laugh again.I was fortunate enough to meet Charlie and he was a star. His guardian and care-giver tapped into the inner regions of this magnificent being and brought forth the purest heart, the softest soul and the most enthusiastic hand-licker I’ve ever met. I loved him the instant I met him, and you will too if you read this book and learn about his transformation. It’s a perfect book to give someone who loves dogs. I’ve read the book and bought many copies for friends who have thanked me profusely for the emotional experience it provides. Charlie may have indeed come in from the wild, but he tamed many humans in the process and left indelible paw prints on our hearts. He remains still, my favorite dog in the whole world.

You won't even know your getting the best education you could ever possibly ask for By shewhisperer This is an intensely rich book about relationships, understanding the need to allow dogs to be dogs and observe the process that every dog goes through. It's considerate, loving, bold and worth reading every word. It's an education into what dogs are all about woven into a true story. You won't even know your getting the best education you could ever possibly ask for. You'll look at your dog with a whole new mindset and your dog will be happier because of it. Bravo to the author.

If you are an animal lover like me you will be delighted with Charlie By Claire Jane If you are an animal lover like me you will be delighted with Charlie. Only I couldn't finish reading it as in the end he passes away and I could not read about it. I cry just thinking about how short a time he got to live after all he had gone thru just to become a "civilized dog."
