Pen Farthing Biography

Pen Farthing, the founder of the nonprofit organization Nowzad Dogs, has dedicated his life to reuniting soldiers with the stray dogs and cats they formed bonds with during combat. His incredible work earned him the esteemed title of the 2014 CNN Hero of the Year. Pen's journey began when he met a stray dog named Nowzad, and his determination to bring Nowzad home to England sparked the establishment of Nowzad Dogs. Recognizing the transformative power of these animal companions for soldiers in war-torn towns, Pen's organization has successfully reunited nearly 700 soldiers with the animals they adopted in Afghanistan. One shining example of the impact of Pen Farthing's organization is the story of Staff Sgt. Edwin Caba. While stationed in Afghanistan, a litter of puppies was born on Caba's base. The soldiers provided them with nourishment, care, and love. Among the puppies, Caba formed a special bond with a female whom he named Cadence. Through Nowzad Dogs' efforts, Caba reunited with Cadence, experiencing the powerful connection between soldier and animal that Pen's organization aims to facilitate. The work of Pen Farthing and Nowzad Dogs goes beyond reuniting soldiers with their adopted animals. Their efforts have brought hope, healing, and companionship to the soldiers and the animals impacted by the ravages of war. By providing a pathway for these reunions, Pen's organization has made a lasting difference in the lives of countless individuals and animals, showcasing the profound bond that can form between humans and animals even in the most challenging circumstances.
