About the Author
Kristin Von Kreisler is the author of Beauty in the Beasts and The Compassion of Animals, as well as articles on animals for publications including Parade, Reader's Digest, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. She is a member of the heroic pet committee of the North Shore Animal League, and cochairs a national campaign for In Defense of Animals.
From Booklist
When von Kreisler, author of The Compassion of Animals (1999), found a beagle named Bea whose traumatic past included a stay at an animal-research facility, she was determined to help the cowering, malnourished animal. From the dog's condition, von Kreisler knew it wouldn't be easy. She was right. Bea vibrates with fear, rebuffs people, and feels relieving oneself takes place more easily indoors than out. The first chapters of this memoir are the best; readers bond with Bea just as Von Kreisler and her husband do, and everyone roots for the dog's slow but steady progress. Once Bea acclimates to her new surroundings, though, the book becomes just another dog story. Fortunately, von Kreisler is a good enough writer to keep readers' interest, even though her more factual material (e.g., the history of beagles) is woven in rather inelegantly. Dog tales have a built-in audience, though, and this one will, too. Ilene Cooper
