![]() ![]() ![]() I have read this book before but I haven’t listened to the audio and I gotta say I loved it more the second time. Read it for a little light reading, but be sure not to take anything in the story as a reflection of reality. If anyone actually attempted to run a kennel and rescue the way the main character did in this story there would be injury and more. I realize that I do let a lot of reality go by the wayside when reading escapist fiction, but in this case it felt irresponsible. Raccoons causing an entertaining ruckus stealing eggs, but not killing and eating the chickens. An animal rescue picking up a pack of stray dogs and putting those dogs and a small pet dog into the back of a car and expecting all to go well. A large vet practice without a vet tech, but with a helicopter (there were extenuating circumstances, but I just can't believe it). What drove me crazy was the implausibility of the outside world. Oddly enough the characters were believable enough to enjoy in their interactions. In this case it was stretched to the breaking point. For the most part, for a little light reading I'm happy to put common sense and reality aside. ![]()
