Poppy's Dogs Trust Puppies

A Heartwarming Welcome to Poppy’s World

Poppy’s Dogs Trust Puppies by Sophia Fergus (2010, Hodder Children’s Division) invites young readers into the bustling world of Poppy, a compassionate girl whose summer holiday takes an unexpected turn when she volunteers at the local Dogs Trust centre. From the very first wagging tail, Poppy discovers that each puppy has its own story—some shy, some spirited, all eager to find a forever home.

Adventures Among Floppy Ears

As Poppy navigates washing muddy paws, organizing playful puppy parades, and soothing nervous whimpers, she learns that kindness is as important as courage. When a mischievous pup named Biscuit escapes his pen and leads her on a merry chase through sunlit meadows, Poppy realizes that trust is built one gentle word at a time. Alongside newfound friends—both two-legged and four-legged—she discovers the joy of teamwork and the comfort of companionship.

Growing Up with Compassion

Through laughter, gentle tears, and the softest of puppy cuddles, Poppy’s journey becomes a celebration of empathy and responsibility. Sophia Fergus’s warm, accessible prose teaches that caring for animals isn’t just a task—it’s a lesson in friendship, patience, and hope. Poppy’s Dogs Trust Puppies is a delightful tale that will inspire young hearts to open their homes and their souls to those who need love most.
