Review: A behind-the-scenes, blunt look at animal shelters
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 5, 2013
As a former SPCA employee, I found "Buster's Law" to be extremely upfront about the day-to-day operations of an animal shelter. That in itself should make this a must-read for those who think it's so 'easy-peasy' to work with abandoned pets as it is a job that constantly tugs at the heartstrings.As an ardent animal advocate, I stood side-by-side with Lucy every step of the way (except for TNR, which I'm still on the fence about). Yet, when it came to pitbulls and/or those who turn in elderly animals, I absolutely agreed with her viewpoint.As an author and editor, I think the story line was good but the book did need some corrections. Also, the ending - albeit happy - was a bit abrupt for my tastes.Overall, I give "Buster's Law" a solid four stars and kudos for telling it like it is.
