Title: Tales from a Dog Catcher
Description: In the tradition of James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small and John Grogan’s Marley and Me, Lisa Duffy-Korpics’s Tales of a Dog Catcher is 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. 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—she was embarking on a teaching career—and, indeed, with infinitely more pleasant memories. In Tales from a Dog Catcher, she brings together these experiences in a magical book that is funny, touching, and heartrending by turns.
