Hope for Wildlife - Ray MacLeod

Since 1997, thousands of animals have been saved through the tireless efforts of the staff and volunteers at Hope for Wildlife, a Nova Scotia wildlife rehabilitation centre. Some animals' stories were so unique that they garnered national attention such as founder Hope Swinimer's battle with the department of natural resources over Gretel, a member of the endangered pine marten species. Each creature comes with its own challenges, either through a difficult injury or a quirky personalitylike Lucifer the inexplicably bald and ornery raccoonbut each pa- tient leaves an indelible mark on the lives of those around them. Hope for Wildlife tells the stories of fourteen different wild animals that have passed through the centre.
