Synopsis: With an introduction by Roger A. Caras, president of the ASPCA. The puppy was dying when James Mahoney found her. Molly was not the first dying animal the research veterinarian had seen. But Mollys struggle sent him barreling over rough Jamaican mountains in a borrowed car, searching for the equipment hed need to save her. More than a story about a dog, this is the story of a rescued man. He asks himself questions: How can he spend his days with chimpanzees locked behind bars and still say that he loves them? What do we owe them for their participation in AIDS research? Why is saving a single runt puppy important? In the tradition of James Herriot, Mahoneys story spans fifty years of living with animals and with the two-legged primates who study them. Written by the man Jane Goodall called one of the most gentle and compassionate people I know, SAVING MOLLY is an important addition to the debate on animal research and a heartfelt meditation on one mans life. He is concerned about the pain and the suffering of the animals. Thats what makes Jim Mahoney different.--Alex Pacheco founder of PETA.
