This book brings together private photographs of missing pets: cats, dogs and birds. Embedded in search posters, printed on home printers and partly protected by plastic covers, they have already been hanging in public spaces for a certain period of time, exposed to the sun, the rain and other adverse effects. The pictures also show partial insights into the world of the animal owners, most of whom have given their protégés a name, such as Paul. The collection of missing animals is complemented by a short story by Gerhard Meister.
