Rather than focus on a particular career, this installment in the Industry Jobs series (6 titles) covers a range of employment opportunities in the field of animal care. An opening chapter follows a woman named Kelsey through a day at work in an animal shelter, setting the scene for what's expected. Accompanied by photos of workers in action, three separate chapters examine more jobs in thematic clusters, including jobs in animal facilities, animal health, and animal training. In each chapter, straightforward, accessible text describes the tasks required for such jobs as groomers, wildlife rehabilitators, zookeepers, and service dog trainers and the education and skills needed to fulfill them. Sidebars offer perspectives to consider, like the emotional toll of working with animals, while a concluding annotated list gives a visual recap of the jobs mentioned throughout.
