A compilation of true tales sure to dispel the myth that animals are devoid of reason, emotion, or compassion.

A raccoon with burned feet who refuses to give up, a self-appointed guardian hen who refuses to leave an injured fox, an abandoned emu who plays pickup sticks with an old one-winged vulture, and a traumatized mother mockingbird who adopts an orphaned sparrow are among the characters. The tales are from Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, which Cuny founded in 1977, and are intended to convince readers that non-human species think and feel.
