Bio:
Mildred Potash was born in Brooklyn, New York. She has always been
an animal lover. Her very first pets were two rats, and during her life
she has enjoyed the companionship of hamsters, guinea pigs, two ferrets,
a cat, and two dogs. Mildred is an outspoken advocate for animal
rights, and her appreciation of the warmth and intelligence of rats
inspired her to write this book.
I feel this story needed to be told because rats are the most misunderstood animals. They are clean, intelligent, loving, and they make great companions. Their bad reputation is completely undeserved. I love rats and all animals and I think people should not judge them so quickly. I also believe my story brings a good message to kids about taking care of a pet.
