Cris Rankin is not your typical mom. She skateboards. She
climbs trees. She does not care for cooking, but she is handy with tools and
can fix about anything around the house, and then some.
And for twelve plus years, she has been part of A1 Animal Talent, providing animals of all types for film and photography
needs.
As a young woman, she trained dogs out of a purely personal
interest in animals.
"When you’re an ‘animal person,’ it’s what you are, no matter
the animal,” Rankin said. “I’m the only weirdo in the family.”
