My name is Kat Albrecht and I'm a police detective-turned-pet detective, author, and founder of Missing Pet Partnership, a national nonprofit organization that reunites lost companion animals with their families. My transition from police bloodhound handler to a pioneer in the pet detective industry has been a rather fantastic journey! You can follow my cases daily on Facebook or check out my weekly pet detective blog. BTW, this photo is of me with Rachel, my cadaver dog-turned-K9 pet detective. Rachel was the focus of my 2004 memoirs The Lost Pet Chroniclesand was one of several dogs (including my police bloodhounds) that I ultimately trained to track lost pets.
