The Lost Pet Chronicles: Adventures of A K-9 Cop Turned Pet Detective


The Lost Pet Chronicles: Adventures of A K-9 Cop Turned Pet Detective by Kat Albrecht

My Outreach Librarian picked this book for me to read and I'm SO glad she did. I learned a lot about dogs and cat behavior when they go missing. Kat Albrecht, an ex-police Dispatcher, trains her pet Weimaraner, Rachel and her two bloodhounds, A.J. and Chase, to find lost dogs and cats. When Kat and her dogs get called to find a lost boa constrictor from a California Zoo, it causes chaos. In this book, we learn how these rescue dogs find lost pets, with some ending out with happy endings and some not too happy. When Kat supposedly finds the man of her dreams, she finds they don't agree on the care of her pets. It was nice to hear about the different ways a lost pet can be found. What I found very interesting was when one of Kat's dogs was able to find a certain cat out of several cats in one household. I was able to learn from this is that all cats have their own distinctive scent. At the end of this remarkable book, Kat gives a lot of good pointers on what to do when we lose a pet. There are a lot of resources to choose from. I highly recommend this book for all animal lovers and keep some Kleenex handy.
