Summary: sniff this one out!
Review: 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.

Review: The Lost Pet Chronicles is like no other pet-related book now available. A multilayered book, it can be described as part adventure, part mystery, part dog-training saga and even part tearjerker! The story grows by each chapter as Albrecht's fate is lined up after acquiring and training multiple dogs and going from a dead-end job to a successful career as a police detective and K-9 search-and-rescue handler. Readers feel a combination of surprise, great angst and much excitement as they experience Albrecht's life-changing ephiphany. The story of her pipe dream that becomes reality is truly inspiring. This book is not to be taken lightly; it is bursting with interesting details about scent particles and Albrecht's pioneering work in training dogs to track the scent of lost pets. The real searches Albrecht and her dogs go on make for exciting reading. Anyone who loves their pet like he/she is a full-fledged family member will appreciate this truly unique story. And, the information provided about how to find a lost pet is invaluable.
