Of course, the whole undertaking proves enormously complex, requiring Terri to build contacts and relationships with US, Iraqi, and Kuwaiti military officers, government officials, airline employees, and transport companies. Once those relationships are in place, there's always another dog or cat, or three, or a dozen, dearly loved by American soldiers who've put their lives on the line for this country, and desperate need of private rescue because there's no way for the soldiers to take them out on military transports.
It isn't just the complexity. The Iraqi end of the effort is actively dangerous for everyone involved, for the pets, the soldiers, the Iraqis who help them, and Terri and anyone else who accompanies her into Iraq to pick up the animals. Even after they are out of Iraqi airspace, the animals aren't truly safe until they are on American soil. It's an exhausting, frequently terrifying, emotionally draining, but ultimately emotionally rewarding undertaking. Terri Crisp tells her story beautifully, and Nicole Vilencia narrates it beautifully, too.
Highly recommended.
