Synopsis

Dog-catchers seldom get their due, and they do more than catch dogs. “Animal Control Officer” doesn’t quite catch the full meaning of the job either. Other animals besides dogs can be involved—pigeons, ferrets, goats, cats, monkeys, snakes, squirrels, rats, and the occasional Bighorn Sheep. More than a few surprises happen in the course of a normal workday or night. At least they did in the 1980s when Linda Mack, Animal Control Officer Two, patrolled the streets of Seattle.
Linda was not raised by wolves, but their descendants were always family. Living and working with dogs and with other animals was more enjoyable than a barrel of monkeys. Besides being fun, More Than a Dog’s Talerecognizes that animals are medicinal, and good dog medicine can’t be beat as a natural remedy for many of the bumps and maladies of real life.

More Than a Dog’s Tale is a collection of stories by the Seattle dog catcher who has a top tier IQ, and a heart that’s even bigger than her mind. Animal lovers be forewarned! You won’t be able to put this book down. You’ll fall in love with every manner of animal, and the dog catcher who saves them, and saves herself. Within these pages are true stories of rescue, of love, and of what matters in life.
