    About this audiobook

    Hundreds of dogs, among other pets, were abandoned during rescue operations following Hurricane Katrina. Dogs Gone Wild is just that, an engaging, animated story of four abandoned dogs and their traumatic adventure through post-Katrinas destruction and devastation in New Orleans. It portrays the persona of four dogs who make up the pack: Mr. Reds, a Cane Corso; Spade, a German shepherd; Blackie, a mixed mutt; and Ms. Chancey, a Golden Lab. After a calamity of traumatic events, the haggard, weary, starving, and dejected dog pack voted to be picked up by the Animal Rescue League and be transported out of New Orleans for normalcy in their lives. Author Theresa Thompson, through her imagination, has profiled the humanistic attributes of four traumatized dogs during a catastrophic disaster. The dogs, once domesticated, are forced to fend for themselves. This heart-warming story, Dogs Gone Wild, will ask readers to consider, Would you leave your pet behind following a disaster? And do you have an evacuation plan that includes your pets?

      Four New Orleans dogs, separated from their owners in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, set out to find them. This sincere and well-intentioned book, obviously written by a dog-lover, does a fine job of illustrating how families who loved their dogs were forced to leave beloved pets behind in order to save their own lives. Otherwise, the dogs' sophisticated conversations with each other and their knowledge of television broadcasts defy credulity. The timeline of post-Katrina events is inaccurate, with news of the levee breaks, availability of electricity, and arrival of FEMA trailers occurring days, weeks, and months before they actually did. Although this brief book fails to realize its potential, it succeeds in conveying an important message: if disaster occurs, don't fail to provide for the animals that depend on you.
