8 State Hurricane Kate: The Journey and Legacy of a Katrina Cattle Dog<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina roared into New Orleans, Louisiana, unleashing a torrent of wind and water that forever altered the landscape. In the ensuing weeks, countless people and animals were rescued from the flood-ravaged city. 8 State Hurricane Kate<\/em> is the unforgettable story of the powerful bond between a cattle dog rescued from a rooftop and the woman who wouldn’t give up on her.<\/p>\n

The heartwarming story of Kate’s post-Katrina journey is a testament to the will and perseverance of the dog and human spirit! As they make that courageous journey together, new worlds open up for Jenny and Kate, an amazing survivor and teacher. Kate’s remarkable journey, a tale of love, courage, and compassion, has inspired many others. Her legacy is a rescue network that continues to help dogs across the country today.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jenny started writing this book because she didn’t want Kate to be forgotten. She also wanted to tell the stories of the Katrina survivors, the animals and people that Kate and Jenny met on their journey. Along the way, Jenny was inspired to continue writing because she hoped the book would help her find Kate’s original family. As the network grew, the book became something larger, an opportunity to give something back. Thus, the 8 State Kate Fund<\/strong> was born. A portion of book profits is donated to\u00a0help animals in desperate situations. To learn more, go to the 8 State Kate Fund<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n
