different

Long Synopsis:   The Cold War had recently drawn to a close, and Lisa 
Duffy-Korpics's career as a dogcatcher would soon be history, too, but for very 
different
reasons-and, indeed, with infinitely more pleasant memories. InTales from a Dog 
Catcher, she brings together these experiences in a magical book that is
funny, touching, and heartrending by turns.     Set in a small, Hudson River 
town north of New York City, this book comprises twenty-two real-life stories
about people and their experiences with animals, stories that both entertain 
and charm, and feature all creatures great and small-from plenty of dogs and
cats and "peeping Tom" raccoons, to a duck and a turkey and an (imagined) 
mountain lion.  Animal lovers of all kinds can read how:   Ø      A decades-long
feud between two longtime enemies who use each other's dogs to hurt each other 
culminates in a dramatic courtroom battle where they unwittingly end up
helping each other. Ø      A call on an elderly woman to surrender twenty-three 
cats provokes a surprising revelation. Ø      A language and culture barrier
yields a situation where a woman ends up watering her cats like plants. All 
ends well, save for some damp kittens, but the laughter continues for miles.
Ø      The police chief forces the animal control officer (ACO) into a 
presentation at the local high school-for students with behavioral problems. 
After
a few awkward moments, the ACO finds herself at ease. Drawn to these engaging 
teenagers, she realizes that sometimes what you are meant to do in life is
not always something that you choose. Sometimes it choosesyou.   In the 
tradition of James Herriot'sAll Creatures Great and Smalland John 
Grogan'sMarley &
Me,Lisa Duffy-Korpics'sTales from a Dog Catcheris an unforgettable look at the 
lives of everyday people (and animals) who, whether by accident or design,
come into contact with the sad, comical, and often profound world of an animal 
control officer.  
Comments:   Book has been read through and enjoyed. All page numbers are 
present. blank pages are well blank. Chapters do not have numbers just titles.
