More About This Book

Overview

"This is an unforgettable account of the courage and boundless energy of people who realize that we human beings have an absolute obligation to help the other creatures of this planet.... I love this book!"
—Ali MacGraw, Actress and Animal Activist

"Hopefully, lots of lessons were learned as a result of Katrina, and reminding us of these lessons is good. Warning: Tissue is required for this reading, though the book abounds in happy endings."
—Steve Dale, Tribune Media Services; (From Steve Dale's syndicated column My Pet World)

"Americans were outraged to see people being forced to abandon their family pets. As Congress rushed to pass new laws, and volunteers raced to New Orleans to help, Hurricane Katrina changed the face of animal welfare forever. This is a story of pure, unconditional love in the face of unimagined suffering."
—Michael Mountain, President and Cofounder; Best Friends Animal Society

Pawprints of Katrina Will Leave Pawprints on Your Heart

You probably vividly remember the animal rescues you saw on television in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Veteran reporter and lifelong animal lover Cathy Scott covered the stories straight from the muck, the rubble, and a makeshift shelter. She witnessed dramatic rescues and joyful reunions firsthand. This book shares Cathy's stories and insight, poignantphotographs from Clay Myers, and follow-up information about the animals today. Heartbreaking and heartwarming, it conveys the depth of the tragedy; more importantly, it celebrates the indomitable spirit of the volunteers who refused to give up, the determined pets who survived, and the owners (original and adoptive) who love these animals today.

    Should be another great by Cathy Scott

    Cathy Scott has done a remarkable job putting this book together, I was fortunate to get a hold of a pre-release copy and have found it to be the most intriguing book about true heroes that I have ever read or could imagine.

    I Also Recommend:

    Thought provoking and touching

    After reading this book I first have to commend all of the animal rescue workers that dedicated so much of their time to saving the animals. I was moved to tears by your efforts.
    Cathy Scott did a tremendous job hitting on the vital and emotional aspects of this US disaster and the plight of the pets and their owners. I would highly reccomend this book for anyone that owns a pet or lives in an area that is subject to Hurricane, flooding or earthquake.
    In any case it is an excellent read that provided insight into something we, as a country, had not given thought to until it was too late for so many pets. This book affected me so much that I know where I will be when the next disaster stikes the US, helping to save the pets. A+!
