Description:Despite all the visual distractions of the digital age, one low-tech form of mass communication remains as popular as ever: the lost pet poster.

Featuring a veritable Noah's ark of animals—from everyday pets such as dog, cats, hamsters, and turtles to more unusual companions, including ferrets, parrots, cows, and cockatiels—these remarkable posters are their own form of folk art. Telling tales of friendship, loss, and hope, they are a powerful testament to the love and devotion shared by pet owners everywhere.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
