Book Review--For Bea

     The book that I am reviewing today is "For Bea: The Story of the Beagle Who Changed My Life" written by Kristen Von Kreisler.   Kristen Von Kreisler is also the author of the book "The Compassion of Animals" that I reviewed a few weeks ago.  In this book, the author tells about how a rescued beagle made a big difference in her life.  The author and her husband were out walking their German shepherd one evening when they came across a stray beagle.  They took the beagle home, and they later learned that the dog was once used as a laboratory animal.

     When Bea the beagle first came to live with the author, the dog was distant and really didn't respond to people.  Over the course of the book, the author reveals how Bea came around from an early life of abuse. 

     I highly recommend this book.  It is well written, and it contains much information about the horrible treatment of animals used in experimentation.
