Critics Review
“A wonderful and most important book that will open your eyes about the compassion and empathy animals display. Read it, then read it again. It is an inspiring and perfect gift.” –Marc Bekoff, author of Why Dogs Hump and Bees Get Depressed—Marc Bekoff“Sometimes an animal comes out of nowhere to take a risk on our behalf, or that of a fellow creature. Jennifer Holland has done it again, drawing attention to the emotional capacities of animals in a most engaging compilation of well-documented stories. The protective instincts of animals are powerful, and a source of deep gratitude for some.” –Frans de Waal, author of The Bonobo and the Atheist—Frans de Waal
