Product Overview
Pet Tracker is the remarkable story of Kat Albrecht, the nations first police detective-turned- pet detective. Her pioneering experiences are astonishing, revealing, and time-tested lost pet recovery methods that could one day help you, too. Disillusioned by a police career where her bloodhound-tracking techniques and brilliant search dogs rarely got a chance to shine, Kat started training her retired Weimaraner, Rachel, to search for lost petswith unbelievable results. To the amazement of her colleagues, Kat decided to make her unconventional use of search dogs a full-time career, in spite of being mocked and told she was having a pipe dream if she thought she could make a living as a pet detective. Using investigative CSI techniques such as probability theory, behavioral profiling, forensic testing, and searches with scent-detection dogs, Kat Albrecht (and the other pet detectives shes trained) has helped thousands of pet owners locate their lost dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, ferrets, and other domestic pets. Along the way, Kat faced one-of-a-kind challenges and unexpected roadblocks (how do you convince a forensics lab to conduct a DNA test on a cats whisker?), but these challenges have always been balanced by the unique joys of reuniting missing pets with their owners. Kats unlikely career path and her unconventional spiritual journey to find her life purpose ultimately transformed her from a dissatisfied cop into a woman who found her true calling. Readers of Virginia Laniers Death in Bloodhound Red series will be intrigued by Kats bloodhound tracking stories while fans of memoirs like Marley & Me and Merles Door will find heart and soul in Rachels inspirational story.
