The inspirational story of Small Paws® Rescue is included, as told by author and SPR Executive Director, Robin Pressnall.
 

Robin is invited to educate and inform the public about some of the conditions she sees on a regular basis, regarding abuse and neglect cases. She also speaks to groups about responsible pet ownership, such as the importance of spaying and neutering pets, and about the importance of maintaining routine veterinary medical care, such as heart worm prevention, routine dental exams and teeth cleanings.

Robin was subpoenaed to appear in Federal Court by Ed Chafer, the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture, as a witness in a high profile animal neglect case, due to her expertise in some of the health conditions of Bichons coming from commercial kennels.
