In Sandy Paws you’ll meet a cat who thinks he’s a dog, a dog who thinks she’s royalty, and people who are amused, confused, and consoled by their pets. Whether they are rescues or rescuers, these dogs and cats will win you over with skills that range from matchmaking to crime solving and from heart mending to life changing.
