Barby Keel is used to all manner of creatures arriving at the door
of the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary where she lives and works, deep
within the Sussex countryside. Nothing can prepare her for the
arrival of Teddy, however, a neglected, traumatised puppy who is
dumped at the gates of the sanctuary in a filthy box, terrified and
desperate for someone to love. Despite his scruffy appearance,
Barby can't help but feel a spark of affection for the overgrown
puppy. But with Barby living in a caravan along with her four other
dogs, she knows in her heart of hearts that Teddy deserves a more
stable forever home. Wiping away tears, she waves Teddy away to his
new life with a young couple, knowing that she's done what's best
for the animal. But barely a few days later, Teddy is returned to
the sanctuary, his new family unable to cope with his boisterous
behaviour and his ever-growing size. Barby tries desperately to
re-home him, but Teddy is rejected over and over again by his new
foster families. Anxious and terrified of being separated from her,
Barby is now faced with the impossible task of working through the
traumas of Teddy's past to help the young dog. But when she
receives the devastating news that her beloved younger brother has
received a shocking diagnosis, Barby's life as she knows it is
thrown into disarray. Can the love of a gentle giant help Barby
through the unimaginable? And will Barby's unwavering devotion set
Teddy free from the suffering he has endured?
Rain is lashing down when Barby Keel is called out to an emergency
unfolding at the gates of her animal sanctuary, deep in the Sussex
countryside. A greyhound had been dumped under the cover of
darkness, and is at death's door. In the 37 years she has dedicated
her life to the welfare of animals, Barby has witnessed the horrors
that humans are capable of, but never has she seen anything as
barbaric as this poor dog's condition. Cigarette burns scar his
flank, and he is so malnourished that he struggles to stand, every
rib showing through his patchy fur. It's touch-and-go whether he
will survive the night. The dog, who Barby names Bailey, proves he
has a fighting spirit and, slowly but surely, begins the long road
to recovery. But Barby is facing her own battle with ill health -
one that threatens the future of the entire sanctuary... Will You
Love Me? is an emotional, joyful true story of the deepest bond
that exists between humans and animals, and shows how in rescuing

run the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary, deep in the Kent countryside,

a second chance at life. She thinks she's seen it all until Gabby,
a scruffy, golden-haired terrier, arrives on her doorstep.
Trembling, her eyes wide with fear, Gabby is unable to play with
other dogs and is completely mute. When Barby discovers that Gabby
has been kept locked indoors her whole life, all becomes clear -
Gabby has never learnt to be a dog. Soon Barby has fallen in love
with this strange little mutt and is determined to help her connect
with her true nature. But when tragedy befalls Barby, it is not
only Gabby but the entire animal sanctuary that's at stake... A
Street Cat Named Bob meets Marley & Me, this is an emotional,
joyful true story of the deepest bond that exists between humans
and animals.

leg has been amputated in a botched surgery, leaving her weak and
barely able to stand. With gentle love and care, Barby and her team
at the Sanctuary work hard to give this brave little dog a second
lease of life. Playful and loving, despite her difficult start in
life, Princess is desperate for a forever family to call her own.
But Barby is heartbroken as she watches Princess get rejected over
and over again by potential owners who are put off by her terrible
injury. Will Princess ever find someone to love her?
