Geoffrey Riley visits with Carol Mithers, author of "."
Mithers unites the causes of animal welfare and social justice, moving between the story of L.A.'s Lori Weise, known as the "Dog Lady," (she's spent decades caring for people in poverty and the animals that love them) and the larger U.S. rescue movement.
Author Carol Mithers examines the consequences of bias within this overwhelmingly white movement, where an overemphasis on placing animals in affluent homes disregards pet owners in poverty. Weise鈥檚 innovative and ultimately triumphant efforts reveal a better way.
