| Summary |
For millions of people, a pet is more than just an animal that shares a living space. These millions will do anything they can to recover a pet when it goes missing. Kat Albrecht is the person they call. Disillusioned by a police career where her brilliant search dogs and dog-tracking techniques rarely got a chance to shine, Kat started training her retired Weimaraner to search for lost animals--and found a whole new arena. To the amusement of her skeptical colleagues, Kat decided to transform her newfound avocation into a business, becoming the only law-enforcement-based pet detective in the United States. Using investigative techniques such as probability theory, behavioral profiling, and physical searches by trained dogs, Kat Albrecht has helped more than 1800 pet owners locate their lost dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, parrots, and horses.--From publisher description. |
