The Lost Pet Chronicles: Adventures of a K-9 Cop Turned Pet
Detective
Detective
Dog Detectives: How To Train Your Dog to Find Lost Pets
For millions of people, a pet is more than just an animal that shares a living space. These millions will
do anything they can to recover a four-legged member of the family when it goes missing: unfortunately,
most people just don't know where to look. Kat Albrecht is the person they call. Disillusioned by a police
career where her brilliant search dogs and own dog-tracking techniques rarely got a chance to shine,
Kat started training her retired weimaraner Rachel to search for lost animals-and found a whole new
arena opening up. To the amusement of her skeptical colleagues, Kat decided to transform her
newfound avocation into a business, becoming the only law-enforcement-based pet detective in the
United States.
Using investigative techniques such as probability theory, behavioral profiling, and physical searches by
trained dogs, Kat Albrecht has helped more than eighteen hundred pet owners locate their lost dogs,
cats, snakes, turtles, parrots, and horses. Along the way, she has faced one-of-a-kind challenges in her
work: technical issues like teaching her trained search dogs to pursue missing pets, unexpected
roadblocks (how do you convince a forensics lab to conduct a DNA test on a cat's whisker?), and the
surprising difficulties associated with living in the shadow of Ace Ventura. But these challenges are
balanced by unique joys each time Kat helps reunite a missing pet with its owners.
The Lost Pet Chronicles tells the fascinating story of Kat's unlikely career path-and of how, along the
way, doing the work she loved transformed her from a dissatisfied, disaffected cop into a woman who
has found her true calling.

Dogs who have an aptitude for using their noses and who love to play with other dogs or kitties (or
maybe ferrets) make great Dog Detectives. Everyone whose pet has disappeared knows the feelings of
fear and helplessness when faced with the question, "What do I do now?" You can help create happy
endings and make your dog a hero by training him to find lost pets using the step-by-step methods in
Dog Detectives.
Retired police K-9 officer Kat Albrecht applies law enforcement based search-and-rescue techniques as
well as forensic analysis to the challenge of locating lost pets. Like lost people, lost pets behave in
predictable ways and once you understand these patterns and combine them with the talents of your
canine partner you will be more successful in recovering a lost animal.
