Broadway Tails
In Broadway Tails, Bill tells the true stories of “throw-away” animals who came back to co-star with some of entertainment’s biggest names, from Richard Burton to Sarah Jessica Parker. Here you’ll meet: The original Sandy, who starred for seven years in Annie “St. Vito,” the deaf bull terrier, who saved the show Pi, the first dog to dance with the New York City Ballet Chico, the Chihuahua with attitude who became the face of one of Broadway’s newest hits
This book was cuter than I thought it was going to be. The book goes through this guy's career training animals for Broadway. All of the animals that were used for shows were from shelters or from homes w/ bad situations. He helped to better the lives of many animals. It was also interesting to read the steps he had to take to train these animals to perform the same trick night after night in front of hundreds of people.
Love stories about animals and I heard the author interviewed on the radio. Sounds like a fun read.
A nice but too-wordy memoir of how Bill Berloni, a wannabe actor, became the theater world's most sought-after dog trainer. Portions of this book could be read aloud to the whole family. Younger readers and sensitive readers may be upset at the depictions of pounds, humane societies and shelters. The first few chapters were absolutely heartbreaking. There are plenty of great pictures of the famous Berloni dogs. At times the prose was too lengthy and filled with extraneous details. I didn't
Of course as a dog trainer, I was very interested in this book. What I really liked though was Bill's determination to continue doing what he loved, and the struggles he overcame when the dogs and people he worked with didn't cooperate.
I had a few hours to kill and couldn't go home, so I did what I always do in such situations: find a bookstore. Once inside, I went in a random direction, found myself in the performing arts section, picked up this book because it had a dog on the cover, and sat in a corner on the floor to give it a skim.For the rest of the free hours I stayed on the floor and read the thing cover to cover. A few times I started crying (which happens rarely from reading) and other patrons hopped over to ask if I
Delightful!

Bill Berloni was a nineteen-year-old theater apprentice when he was offered his big break: the chance to act professionally if he could find and train a dog to appear in the original production of the Broadway hit Annie. Defying the odds, Bill rescued a dog from a local shelter and, together, they redefined what animal performers could do.In Broadway Tails, Bill tells the true stories of “throw-away” animals who came back to co-star with some of entertainment’s biggest names, from Richard Burton to Sarah Jessica Parker. Here you’ll meet: The original Sandy, who starred for seven years in Annie “St. Vito,” the deaf bull terrier, who saved the show Pi, the first dog to dance with the New York City Ballet Chico, the Chihuahua with attitude who became the face of one of Broadway’s newest hits
Often funny, and always touching, these and other stories demonstrate the extraordinary things rescued animals can do.

Broadway Tails gets four and a half stars in my opinion. I loved the movie Annie when I was a kid and of course loved Sandy most of all. Broadway Tails starts with the story of Sandy and how, because Bill Berloni took a chance, the shelter dog was given a second life. Bill Berloni trained dozens of dogs, not to mention cats, pigs, birds, and even rats. He saved the lives of so many animals and trained them to be stars. The book illustrates a handful of stories about these animals over the pastThis book was cuter than I thought it was going to be.
