There are women across the country trapped in violent relationships who can’t leave, because of their pets. Today’s guest Gemma thought she’d found the one, in a man who promised her the moon and the stars. The reality was very different as she became a domestic violence victim suffering daily torture and assaults. Gemma knew she had to get out, but couldn’t leave her beloved dog Dusty who lay on her lap as she cried every night. Refuges wouldn’t take him, but thanks to the Freedom Project from the Dogs Trust, Dusty was fostered by Frank who took Dusty in for over seven months. Gemma has never been able to thank Frank properly until today when he joins us live from his home.

You wouldnt want to leave him (the dog). He had been with you throughout that abusive relationship. He clearly cared and loved you very much to put himself in danger like that
