“Petey: A Story of Mutual Rescue explodes with emotion. This book is on the extreme shortlist of the best-written books and manuscripts I have edited in 26 years in book publishing--some 300 books. Extremely engaging and endlessly original.”
-- David Allen Aretha, editor of The Holocaust Chronicle & co-author of Power of the Dog by Marilyn J. Harran and John Roth
A true story about an emotionally ravaged dog, a clinically anxious adopter, and the unbreakable bond that links them.
When Ishy adopts Petey, she imagines an adoring companion. Instead, she soon comes to believe she has made the worst possible choice.
Abused and abandoned by previous owners, Petey alternately bites and ignores her. He’s impossible to house train and barks incessantly. But his teddy bear eyes hold a secret, sorrowful history and despite his bravado, Ishy thinks he needs to share it.
When Ishy learns about the dog’s past through the rescue group that saves him, her wish to bring Petey back to life becomes personal. But Ishy discovers she must heal herself to keep Petey on the path of his own courageous recovery.
Petey: A Story of Mutual Rescue depicts the joys and heartbreaks of unconditional love, healing, and rescue work.

"A beautifully written, thoroughly engaging story about one couple's quest to discover the tainted past of their rescue pitbull. This book realistically portrays some of the issues adopters can face when taking in a rescue dog, but equally demonstrates how love, patience, and devotion can win the day. Ishy Creo demonstrates an in-depth understanding of the relationship between man and canine, and how both can help each other overcome deep psychological issues resulting from past experiences. A heart-warming read, and a testimony to all those heroes who adopt rather than buy".
– Martin Turner, Soi Dog, Asia
An honest, sensitive, and on occasion humorous portrayal of the miraculous bond between human beings and animals – Petey’s story is must-read for everyday inspiration!"
—Varda Mehrotra, Director of Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations
