For almost 10 years, a small group of volunteers has been quietly supporting shelter dogs in Dubai through pre-loved book sales — and many people still don’t know this heartwarming initiative exists. Every book bought helps feed and care for dogs waiting for their forever homes. Visit their bi-weekly book sale at Times Square Center and discover how a simple book can bring hope to a dog in need.

After two years in the making, Dr. Amirah William’s inspiring new book, A Rescue Journey to a Royal Life, shares the unforgettable story of Koko — a critically injured Akita rescued by Stray Dogs Center in the UAE. Published by Austin Macauley, this all-ages book is a heartfelt celebration of animal welfare, resilience, and second chances. Meet the author and get a signed copy at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair on April 27, Stand 8B36.
