Bernie Petre was born and raised in New Orleans. Like most folks in his parish he loved his family and friends, a good Po' Boy sandwich, Jazz music on a hot Summer night and Bon-Temps. What set Bernie apart was his love for dogs. At a young age Bernie's life became mapped out for him when a local vet offered him a job taking care of dogs at his clinic. Bernie's family supported his life long dream of being an angel for these little creatures. But on Aug 29,2005 everything in Bernie's family life changed when a beastly storm named Katrina tore through Bernie's parish. Will Bernie and his family live to see another day? Will the dogs and cats Bernie has taken care of all his life be rescued? Join award-winning writer Sassy Angel on this road of thrills, bravery and love. 100% of the books profits will go to rebuilding New Orleans Pet rescues.
