Dennis Pemble released his memoir, written alongside wife Karen, in March
The retired wildlife control officer also knows how it feels to have that cougar’s life in his hands.
Instead, Pemble tied a few dog leashes together into a makeshift lasso. “It took me quite a few tries, but I finally got the lasso around its neck and I pulled the cat out of the tree,” he recalled. He and two other officers managed to tranquilize and relocate the animal. Pemble said he got the idea to write a book from the numerous journalists who joined him for a ride-along over the years, from publications like Smithsonian Magazine, Los Angeles Times Magazine, and Reader’s Digest. “They said to me over the years, ‘You’ve got to write a book.’ And they kept saying it,” he remembered.
Years later, that friend gave Pemble a call: Lay was looking to hire a seasonal coyote trapper. The only issue? Pemble needed a high school diploma to work for the provincial government. The opportunity spurred Pemble into a 10-month equivalency program. He passed, earning a Grade 12-equivalency certificate and a job.“I did, thinking I didn’t have a hope in hell of getting it,” Pemble writes in the book.
