This book is an engaging account of the creation of the first in Russia investigation agency for finding missing animals—an initiative that gradually grew into an animal rescue service and uncovered many shocking facts of cruelty and hatred toward animals, misunderstanding between people, and indifference of part of society and authorities. Personal observations and reflections of the author, interesting encounters, professional secrets, captivating stories about the intertwining of human destinies and animal destinies, questions of training, problems of stray animals in the city, and much more. The book will be interesting both to “dog people” and “cat people,” and to all caring people for whom Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s phrase “We are responsible for what we have tamed” is not just empty words.
