Anyone who reads this book is in for a treat! And....is there another Dr. Camuti out there? House calls indeed! I laughed and cried my way through this book. And have lent it to friends, all of whom enjoyed it also. But it is possibly the amount of love and concern Dr. Camuti has for all animals that is the biggest lesson in this book; A challange for us to use our common sense in taking care of our pets. A great gift.

Chronicles the career of a woman who has dedicated her life to animal rescue, describing her participation in rescue efforts at the scene of such disaster as the Exxon-Valdez oil spill, and outlines ways to prepare pets for disaster situations.

You will be moved by courageous, poignant, and sometimes humorous stories including the Alaskan musher who stole a fire truck to save his sled dogs during a fire; the kittens rescued from the water treatment plant where they survived on pepperoni pizza in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Alberto in Macon, Georgia; the Rottweiler that survived the Oklahoma City tornado only to die later in a fire; the horses stranded on a levee in California and rescued by rodeo cowboys; and many more.

These touching animal stories make a powerful statement about the intense love which animals have for their owners. From selfless gestures to grand, heroic displays of courage, these tales recount the exploits of dogs, cats, horses, pigs--even an iguana--who have warned and rescued peoples--some at great risk to themselves.
