Innocent Victims: Rescuing the stranded animals of Zimbabwe's farm invasions
()
About this ebook
Nandi, pictured on the book-jacket of this heart-warming account of her animal rescues, is just one of the many ordinary pet dogs she managed to save.
The bravery of Meryl and her small team, as they overcame huge obstacles to find and return these traumatised pets to their loving owners, has earned her world-renown. But she didn't do it for any human praise – she did it for the animals, the innocent victims of human folly.
