Buddy and Barry enjoying retirement...Buddy's the cat
| Welcome to Canines-and-Felines.com... |
After 32 years of doing police work, one does get a little bored dealing
with people. While I keep my hand in the old career with my web site at
CareerPoliceOfficer.com where I provide advice to young people
contemplating a police career, I wanted to do something that would be
just plain fun. Hence...this web site.
My inspiration for this site is pictured above. I found Buddy... no, that's
wrong... Buddy found me just a few months before I retired. Buddy was
sick and starving, but his personality was 100% intact. I've always been
an animal lover, but I'd never been what one would call a cat person;
until, I met Buddy.
Buddy had a rough beginning. His bones are crooked, and most of his
teeth never fully developed, but his character, personality and
fearlessness would save him. He came out of a neighborhood where the
sound of gunfire is a daily occurrence. In fact, it's quite possible he'd
even dodged a few bullets during his short lifetime.
Today, Buddy doesn't have a care in the world. The biggest decision he
has to make is deciding when to eat and drink...not how and where to
find food and water. Read Buddy's Story by my Wife and Buddy's Mom

Another Education!
I've always referred to police work as The Best Education on
Earth. Now, I find myself embarking on another education.
As I go about building this website, I'm constantly reminded of
how little I know, and how much there is to learn, about the
animals who live among us.

Book Reviews
As time goes by, this section will grow. I've started out with a
really good one about animal rescue. Traer Scott is a
professional photographer who traveled to Mexico and Puerto
Rico where she made some beautiful photographs of dogs
living on the streets.
