A collection of fifty unusual, exciting, and very real stories are set forth and explained by a man who has devoted his adult life to saving and protecting animals. Chief John DeCando has helped legions of animals and a vast array of animal lovers and pet owners.
This book chronicles the most encompassing adventures of one of America's most experienced animal control officers. John DeCando has undertaken brave and daring rescues. He has spearheaded the passing of new and crucial laws to protect innocent animals. He has educated many children on the importance of being kind to all animals. He was instrumental in supplying food for animals whose owners were displaced from their homes during the severe hurricanes.
Although not every story has a happy ending, the book brilliantly captures the sheer joy that all animal lovers rejoice in when an animal is saved or rescued and then finds a happy home.
50 Years of Animal Rescue is without a question a book that every animal lover must own.
