| Publisher Description: Discover real-life stories of animals who have achieved the most heroic or astounding feats, and tons of fascinating animal facts--from dogs, cats, and rabbits to birds, whales, and insects. A fascinating combination of true-life tales of heroic animals and information on incredible topics such as animal senses, intelligence, communication, and the importance of animal conservation. Included are the heart-warming stories of Mari the Japanese Shiba Inu, who saved her puppies and human owner from the destruction of an earthquake; Digit the gorilla, whose brave actions highlighted the importance of gorilla conversation worldwide; Lin Wang the war elephant, who became a national hero; and so many more. A real highlight of this gorgeous book is the stunning artwork of David Dean, whose paintings bring drama and atmosphere to every scene, and a foreword by television presenter and veterinarian Jess French. |
