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
Delightful!
Excellent book! It hit so many key areas for me... love of shelter dogs, Broadway, NYC and CT! Bill is a man with a big heart and his career and ethics are inspiring.

When I was doing research on a recent version of Legally Blonde which was opening at Sacramento's Music Circus, and which I would be reviewing, someone told me that a member of the original cast was coming out of retirement to do this show one last time. It was Chico, the Chihuahua who had been the original "Bruiser Woods" and he had been trained by a guy named Bill Berloni.I did a little research on Berloni too and found that he is "the" guy to go to if you need an animal trained for stage
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
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 past
Love stories about animals and I heard the author interviewed on the radio. Sounds like a fun read.

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.
