Inspirational, humorous, playful, and sometimes tragic, this book will turn anyone into an animal lover, and will remind animal rescuers why they do what they do.
As author Ed Kostro journeys from the shed under his grandmother’s garage with "Mousie" and "Tiger" –to his own garage later in life – one thing remains constant: the love of animals. Share the beautifully written stories of Kostro’s unusual animal friends - ranging from robins to snakes, to dogs and cats, and even the occasional skunk!
Join Kostro as he moves through life in this wondrous book of a journey rich in love. Fly to Italy and experience the culture of age-old lands, as well as some of the ancient traditions that result in having to learn the language in order to save your pet dog that the ancient villagers are anxious to "have to dinner." Experience the pain of nearly losing a beloved dog in a divorce, and the joy of celebrating a new marriage inspired by a kitten.
Poetic, humorous, playful, and sometimes saddening, Kostro manages to encompass the many different emotions that animal rescuers face each and every day. He accurately portrays the beauty of life, it’s ups and downs, twists and turns, and always seems to come out on top with his beloved pets by his side.
In the preface of the book, Kostro states, ‘Although non-animal people will never read this book…" and yet, it is a perfect gift for non-animal people. Inspiring, loving, and tragic – its stories will stay with you long after you close the pages…
