Rescue Ink: How Ten Guys Saved Countless Dogs and Cats, Twelve Horses, Five Pigs, One Duck, and a Few Turtles by Rescue Ink
4.0
I picked this book up because it caught my eye on the way through my local half priced books. It is a book of short, episodic chapters covering both the members of Rescue Ink and some of their more memorable rescue stories.
A unique look at animal rescue from a unique group of animal rescuers. Most of the members are tattooed, largely muscled men with a soft spot for misunderstood breeds and critters in need. Each member has their own background and reasons for doing what they do and each have their own specialties. Not every story is a success and some are downright heartbreaking.
I really enjoyed the focus on rehabilitating pit bulls (and other breeds) who have been abused or used for bait dogs. There is a chapter on an cat hoarder that I would not recommend reading if you plan to eat anything in the next 2 hours or so. They do not spare the graphic details which really drives many of the stories home.
