Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
This poignant canine memoir recounts the story of Ginny, a Long Island dog with a remarkable ability to seek out and rescue homeless cats. Simple but delightful, the story is narrated from the perspective of Ginny's owner, Philip Gonzalez. Badly disabled in an industrial accident, Gonzalez quickly fell into a downward spiral of despair. His saving grace arrived in the form of a small, scruffy grey dog. Ginny quickly provided Philip with a focus in life: cats--hundreds of them. Each chapter recounts Ginny's amazing rescues of helpless felines. Particularly heartwarming is the image of Ginny running across broken glass to reach a kitten in distress. As Ginny saved cats, Philip housed them, and soon his life was taken over by the creatures--many disabled or disfigured. The Dog Who Rescues Cats is packed with touching photographs of Ginny and her feline family. Included is an introduction by Cleveland Amory, noted animal enthusiast and author of The Cat Who Came for Christmas.
From Library Journal
Most dog memoirs recount fond childhood memories of canine companionship (Willie Morris's My Dog Skip, LJ 5/1/95) or the joys of dog ownership (George Pitcher's The Dogs Who Came To Stay, LJ 7/95). This true, heartwarming story is about a dog who gave her owner a new lease on life and taught him how to love again. Gonzalez, who had lost much interest in living after suffering a disabling accident, reluctantly agreed to adopt a badly abused dog, a mixture of Siberian husky and schnauzer. He recognized in Ginny the same vulnerability and hurt as in himself, yet he also saw hope and love. As the weeks passed, Ginny, with Gonzalez's help, made it her mission to rescue abandoned, mostly disabled cats. Ginny rescues Madam, who's totally deaf, and Revlon, who has only one eye. Betty Boop has no back legs, and Topsy has brain damage, but they too become part of the family. Although Gonzalez is the author of this story, it is Ginny who is the true heroine. It is her "radar of the heart" that makes this such a touching, sweet story. The photographs of Ginny, Gonzalez, and their family of cats are endearing and unforgettable. This moving tale will be welcomed by school and public libraries.

This books was truely inspiring to me. Because of this book I have started helping my sister and brother-in-law to feed strays in their area. My husband and I have built a kitty condo for them. I tell everyone that likes animals to read Philips books. I am also starting a web page in the hopes of helping more cats. This book helped me to focus on what I love, CATS. And has given new meaning to my life. Thank you Ginny, Philip and Sheila, St. Francis would be most proud of you. Best wishes from Chicago!
