NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 288pp. Hardback with DJ. I absolutely loved this book and can't stop talking about it. Mr. Leeds was inspired to revolutionize the pet hospitality industry back in 1970 when his pet ocelot died while being boarded due to neglect. He investigated and found conditions unsatisfactory. Mr. Leeds believed in his idea and went forth never minding the naysayers. He met with Ray Kroc and together started a dream come true! It is an interesting book from an animal lover's perspective as well as an entrepreneurial adventure. I am very glad to see that he has done so well! Mr. Leeds has a heart for all of God's creatures. I found it interesting that when he and Ray Kroc were first beginning, taking the risk of starting this new business that they found time to fundraise for Save-A-Pet shelter. American Pet Motels is more than a profit seeking enterprise. It is a dream come true. My friends rave about the service in Prairie View. It was interesting to see how it all started!
