About this listen
A celebration of companionship with the animals who share our lives and our world.
The authors’ experiences with dogs, cats and other pets; with ranch and farm animals; and with both backyard and wilderness wildlife are sure to delight. Some stories evoke laughter, some evoke tears, and all lift our hearts. Animal-loving readers will enjoy getting acquainted with furry and feathered friends, as well as exotic companions, who entertained, comforted, and inspired.
These engaging tales of dogs, cats, sheep, horses, backyard birds, woodland deer, and many other creatures include childhood memories, family fun, contemplative moments, and wilderness explorations.
"What a special showcase of creatures, great and small!" ~Mary Harwell Sayler
