Maggiori informazioni sul libro
At the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch in Medina, Texas, Nancy Parker-Simons, her husband Tony Simons, and a dedicated team care for over sixty rescued dogs, along with cats, chickens, pigs, horses, wild mustangs, donkeys, and a rooster named Alfred Hitchcock. Kinky Friedman, the ranch's "Gandhi-like figure," plays a crucial role by bringing in stray and abused animals, raising funds, and ensuring that visitors leave with a dog or two. In this engaging narrative, Nancy shares the heartwarming and often humorous journey of establishing a no-kill sanctuary for homeless and abused animals in the Texas Hill Country. It all began in 1998 with a series of serendipitous events that united her, Tony, and Kinky. Their first rescue involved forty-one dogs, dubbed the "magnificent seven." Since then, they have saved over one thousand animals. Nancy recounts the touching stories of many fortunate animals that found refuge at the ranch, whether to be adopted or to live out their lives in peace. She also acknowledges the support of notable figures like First Lady Laura Bush, Willie Nelson, and others who have helped sustain this vital mission. Anyone passionate about animal welfare will find this story irresistible.
