About
Adopting a pet can be challenging. Rory Cellan-Jones received the trembling Sophie in a van from Central Europe and thus began the process of growing together through love, kindness and a great deal of patience. Sophie from Romania follows the journey of her adoption as Rory and his wife work with a dog trainer to win her trust, and navigate Rorys Parkinsons disease diagnosis.
Rory Cellan-Jones was the BBCs principal technology correspondent until 2021. He now writes an influential Substack column on medical innovation, tech and Sophie. Together with Jeremy Paxman and several others he has begun a new podcast on Parkinsons called Movers and Shakers . Julian Worricker, frequent visitor to Cuckfield Bookfest, will be talking to Rory.
