Many people were told evacuation was only for one day (overnight) I didn't realise that before when I wondered why so many had left their animals. Just goes to show -I didn't know the full story. Many people were very distressed about their pets.
The book is well written. Front-line viewpoint of the animal rescuers. It seemed well organised. But it was also very difficult to get back into New Orleans as there were roadblocks set up. The electricity company were having a hard job knowing which electric wires were 'hot' and which were dead, and police wouldn't let many people back in for safety reasons. That was another thing I didn't know about.
I am enjoying the book very much indeed.
