NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The SPCA International (www.spcai.org) announced on September 26th, 2011, the presence of hope and support for author Terri Crisp’s new book on the SPCAI efforts to save and bring U.S. Troops’ dogs and cats safely home from the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Terri Crisp works as SPCA International’s program manager for the organization’s famous ‘Operation Baghdad Pups’. Crisp and a team of SPCA International staff and volunteers have saved the lives of 280 dogs, 70 cats and 1 donkey, all of which were rescued and befriended by United States military troops since the month of February 2008.
“No Buddy Left Behind captures the incredible effort and diplomatic work it takes to bring these animals safely home to America and each story is not only gripping but emotional as they show the real loving bond between our men and women who serve and these animals who have become a part of their lives so far away,” said Stephanie Scott of SPCA international.
“This book like no other really shows the tight bond American troops serving in the Middle East have with stray dogs and cats that would have died on war-torn streets but became part of the military family. To see them reunited after combat is amazing.”
In addition to this book, Terri Crisp is also the author of Out of Harm’s Way and Emergency Animal Rescue Stories. As program manager for SPCA International’s Operation Baghdad Pups, she had made 37 trips to Iraq and Afghanistan and has appeared on national TV news programs and been featured in several publications for her international work.
