Rabbit Experts Praise "Little Mutt"...

"Raising and releasing any wild animal is not
taken lightly even by experienced wildlife rehabilitators. The
decisions and dilemmas encountered by Nicola Blundell Brown, whose
friend's dog presented her with a two-day-old hare, would make any
novice uneasy. Her success story, as told in Little Mutt, is
extraordinary. The behavior observed in the growing hare resemble in many ways that of rabbits raised in the house. Both like to run about, yet retreat to dark quiet places. Both are inquisitive and avid chewers. Cuddling is not always desired. The role of care giving described in the book will seem quite familiar to rabbit people, who can well understand a preoccupation with the little creature's well being—providing food, housing and safety at all times. The similarity must end with the ultimate goals. House-rabbit caregivers prepare a long-domesticated, dependent animal to bond with a human family, while the best for a wild animal is the return to the wild. Seeing the little hare safely through to independence was a noble accomplishment, poignantly told by the author, and beautifully illustrated by Chris Robitaille.

A Story To Delight All Ages "It’s easy to appreciate the E-book, Little Mutt—it’s a very good read, the illustrations are sensitive and realistic, and author Nicky Blundell Brown has pledged profits from the e-book in support of two nonprofit organizations: Vancouver Rabbit Rescue and Advocacy and the African Medical Research Foundation. However, there are additional reasons for my appreciation of Little Mutt. It reveals the author’s deep love for a wild hare who might have been abandoned by his mother. I found myself applauding the author for her dedication, compassion, and diligence in obtaining information about the care of a small wild prey animal. With humor and insight, she recounts her struggles to keep Little Mutt safe and happy—not an easy task as he begins to grow and exhibit his inherent nature. I found myself drawn into the author’s conflict between releasing the hare into the wild when he was about six months old, and her desire to continue living with the little creature who had stolen her heart. Her respect for the young hare is shown in the fact that she allowed him to remain wild and true to his own nature. As I read, I found myself musing over the similarities and differences between hares and rabbits, and I thank Ms. Brown for spurring my new interest: researching lagomorphs so that I can understand more about them. Little Mutt is a story that will interest and delight readers young and old. The drawings effectively capture the spirit of the story, and their detail provides an additional level of interest."
