- Synopsis
- From the Book Jacket: Almost everyone who has had a pet has a story to tell; something remarkable the animal did that seemed incredible at the time. Gretchen Alday has collected many of these stories, gathering anecdotes from animal lovers all over the country, and blending them with tales of the special pets of historical figures and fictional characters. Covering a broad range, these stories demonstrate the often astonishing sensitivity of animals, demonstrating their psychic capabilities, great generosity, and extraordinary intelligence. There are stories about a dog who shows great courage in saving a human life ... a cat finding her way home from fifty miles away ... a horse grieving over the death of his master ... and many more. The author has mixed the humorous with the serious, the comic with the tragic, and actual recent events with the historical and fictional, to create a book animal lovers of all ages will find very appealing. An animal lover all of her life, Gretchen Alday lives in upstate New York with one daughter and one son, and an assortment of cats, and horses.
