I have never heard of him but I was getting online looking for your post where you mentioned him earlier.
There is a Kat Albrecht in Clovis CA. Forgive me for not knowing anything about CA but I am not sure how far this is away from you. My luck it's probably clear on the other side of the state.
I am getting ready to start reading her book, The Lost Pet Chronicles.
What I do know about her is that she is a former k9 cop that when her dog got lost she was so devastated she enlisted in the help of another one of her K9 dogs to find him and she decided that that was reason God put her here. She has been in Reader's Digest, Guidepost, and on Animal Planet. Might be worth checking out.
She is the founder of the Missing Pet Partnership.

The web sites listed on the back of the book are.
