A Touching and Informative Book!

Every pet owner should read this book! I found Kat's story to be interestng and so touching. She has a real passion for lost pets that was apparent in the book. There are joyful moments and also moments where I was reading with tears streaming down my face. I couldn't put it down and tore through it in three days. The book also contains an epilogue with excellent advice on how to find a lost cat or dog based on her experience. A portion of the proceeds from the book go to Missing Pet Partnership, a non-profit organization formed by the author.

Pet Detective Extraordinaire!!!

An absolute "must read" for any animal lover. Kat takes you for an intimate look into her and her beloved canine companions world of ups and owns. She has you laughing and crying and all the while giving excellent information and guidelines on what to do and not do when your own "family member" is missing. She let's you know immediately that she "knows" what you are going through and at the same time shows such professionalism. Excellent training tips for your own canine. I applaude Kat, her canines, volunteers and her vision. Absolutely, LOVED the book and couldn't put it down!

sniff this one out!

The inspiring story of a female police officer who hit on the idea of having bloodhounds search for lost pets. It's incredible no one has hit on such a wonderful idea before. Her Weimaraner, Rachel, took to the training right away ("Find a cat and earn cheese? It was a doggy dream come true!"), but it was disheartening to see how many people, friends included, who laughed or dismissed her pursuit as unworthy of good search dogs. Still, her perserverence paid off, and there are some heartwarming stories of successful rescues (as well as the inevitably sad outcomes of less fortunate pets). The book also contains some good advice on choosing a pet, along with some very helpful tips on what to do if your dog or cat has run away, not to mention a listing of online resources. Highly recommended, and a good companion piece with Melinda Roth's THE MAN WHO TALKS TO DOGS.

Lost Pet Chronicles:Adventures of a K-9 Cop Turned Pet Detec

A straight from the heart book. Kat Albrecht leads us through her life of evolving into a Pet Detective. Along the way we come to appreciate her deep love and appreciation for her animals as well as others. I thoroughly enjoyed her explanations of how she trained her dogs; and how her dogs trained her! I cried with her and I laughed with her. LOVED the book.S. Linden
