Molly: The True Story of the Amazing Dog Who Rescues Cats by Colin Butcher
5.0
Let me just start out by saying: I loved this book! Colin Butcher’s book about his amazing dog, Molly, warmed my heart and gave me back a little faith in humanity. I named my blog after my dogs, so I loved reading Colin’s story of how he formed his UK Pet Detective Agency. I know what you’re thinking. Like Ace Ventura? No, it’s nothing like that Jim Carrey movie. Colin Butcher tells us about his background, first in the Royal Navy and then as a police detective. He had been an animal lover since childhood. During his time on the police force, he was privileged to help other police officers who worked with police dogs. Colin left the force to start his own detective agency.

Colin knew he needed a partner to help reunite owners with their lost pets, specifically cats. He turned to the experts at Medical Detection Dogs for help in finding and training a dog. I loved how the author specifically wanted a rescue dog and after much searching, he found Molly, a black cocker spaniel. Molly was young and stubborn, but she and Colin made it through the rigorous training. I really enjoyed learning about the science behind the training of a dog who can search for cats through each cats’ unique scent. I also loved reading about all the different cases of missing pets. I felt like I got to know each person’s story through Colin’s writing. I’ve been an animal love my whole life and I could completely understand all the emotions of every person who needed Colin and Molly’s help. I also loved reading about the bond between Colin and his amazing dog.

This is such a great book to read for any animal lover. And it was a perfect time for me to read this book too. When everything seems so dark and horrible, it’s lovely to read about a man and his dog helping others. I know how important a pet is. My beloved dogs are older now. They are my family. I know many of you feel the same way about your own fur babies. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. It publishes on October 8th. Thank you so much to @celadonbooks for my copy! All opinions are my own.
