9/16/24 Rethinking Rescue

Carol Mithers talks about her book "Rethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of America's Forgotten People and Pets." The 'Dog Lady' referenced in the subtitle is Lori Weise, who for decades has done dog rescue in some of L.A.'s poorest neighborhoods. What has set her work apart from that of others engaged in pet rescue is that she has tried to help struggling dog owners as much as the dogs they own - and Weise's hope has always been that pets and owners might remain together or be reunited someday.
