Button, The Hokkien Therapy Dog

How is everyone doing? Hope all of you are keeping safe and staying home! In the midst of all this uncertainty and gloomy news hitting our TV screens daily, we have some positive news to share! Have you heard? or NOT?! Our founder Fiona had written a book about Button, her rescued Schnauzer.

Button, The Hokkien Therapy Dog 



Button, the rescued Schnauzer 

Remember this woebegone creature? For long time followers of Hope, this face may ring a bell! Yes that's Button, when Fiona first rescued her.  It took months of patience, love and effort to turn her into this.

Button, the resident therapy dog at Assisi Hospice 

From living a life of neglect with multiple health and social issues, Button blossomed under Fiona's care and became Singapore's first and only Therapy Dog trained in Hokkien!

Sadly, although Button is no longer with us now, her transformation and journey into a Therapy Dog is nothing short of amazing and she had touched the lives and hearts of many.



Fiona's main objective of writing the book is to show the world that a senior rescued dog can achieve such milestones, given the right opportunities and love.

Read about Button's quirky nature and her funny adventures on mastering Hokkien, her life with her Kor Kor, Popsicle, and her best friend Harper. The book also features Button's role as a therapy dog in Assisi Hospice and her interactions with the patients.

It also depicts the harsh facets of the dog breeding industry in Singapore and the sorry plight of the stray community.

Proceeds from the book goes to Hope Dog Rescue's efforts in rehabilitating strays and also our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) efforts.

We hope you enjoy reading the book, it would mean so much to us!
