'A powerful, eloquent and deeply affecting book. I loved it' EDMUND DE WAAL'Tender, evocative and deeply moving' JONATHAN FREEDLAND'Profound, elegiac and fascinating... I zipped through it' PHILIPPE SANDS'Compelling' DAILY MAIL, BOOK OF THE WEEK'I SEEK A KIND PERSON WHO WILL EDUCATE MY INTELLIGENT BOY, AGED 11.' In 1938, Jewish families are scrambling to flee Vienna. Desperate, they take out adverts offering their children into the safe keeping of readers of a British newspaper, the Manchester Guardian. The right words in the right order could mean the difference between life and death.

Eighty-three years later, Guardian journalist Julian Borger comes across the advert that saved his father, Robert, from the Nazis. Robert had kept this a secret, like almost everything else about his traumatic Viennese childhood, until he took his own life. Drawn to the shadows of his family's past and starting with nothing but a page of newspaper adverts, Borger traces the remarkable stories of his father, the other advertised children and their families, each thrown into the maelstrom of a world at war.

From a Viennese radio shop to the Shanghai ghetto, internment camps and family homes across Britain, the deep forests and concentration camps of Nazi Germany, smugglers saving Jewish lives in Holland, an improbable French Resistance cell, and a redemptive story of survival in New York, Borger unearths the astonishing journeys of the children at the hands of fate, their stories of trauma and the kindness of strangers.

I Seek a Kind Person is a gripping family memoir of grief, courage and hope, connecting us with multiple generations, distant continents and the hidden histories of our almost unimaginable past.

Shih Tzu and schnauzer approved
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
My babies are grown teenagers now so now I spoil my dogs. I have amazing episodes of Shih Tzu and schnauzer and these girls live like royalty. They love these fact I get treats from Amazon so often that when the Amazon man comes, they go crazy because they think the boxes are for them.. I think dogs need variety and my girls are living their best lives.

Very thin & doesn't last
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
My dogs loves these but they are very thin and don't last long. My smallest dog 28lbs will eat these in less than 2mins and the bigger ones 95lbs will take like 3 bites and it's gone. Will be buying more because it's a great value for the money and my dogs love them.

Good stuff with some minor caveats
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 1.5 Pound (Pack of 1)
My dog generally loves these. They seem to be a good quality ingredients. I think he likes the taste, but do know that they have a very smoky smell. I don’t know how fresh jerky can be, but they do seem like a very good value for the money. Another brand sells dog jerky as human quality. And my dog also likes that. The other brand is much softer, and this brand, wag, is a bit harder. So perhaps, if you have an older dog or a dog with teeth issues, this might not be the best choice.
