Tells the true story of the unique human-animal friendship between Harry Goodridge and Andre, the harbor seal who was as comfortable in Goodridge&’s home as he was in Penobscot Bay. Andre swims with Harry and rides happily in the back seat of Harry&’s car. He quickly picked up tricks—perhaps the first time a wild animal has been trained in a free-release situation. He became Rockport, Maine&’s honorary harbormaster and was ranked &“second only to Andrew Wyeth as the state&’s most acclaimed summer resident.&” Year after year, Andre swam south in the winter, only to return again to Harry the next spring. It&’s a timeless and iconic Maine story.
