Kim Cano's "For Animal Lovers" is a collection of three short stories that go straight to the heart of the human animal.  All three stories feature animals who talk, telling a story with a very nice lesson.The first story is "Becoming Sacred."  Charlie is a cow who has dreamed of going to India for most of his life in order to become sacred.  The other cows coax him to a part of the pasture where there is a great-tasting patch of grass, and encourage Charlie that someday he will make it to India.The next story is "Pascal's Magic" in which an adopted kitty is comforted and welcomed into a new home. He loves his humans, but the day comes when Pascal is the comforter.  A wonderful story that shows how humans and animals can feel for each other and comfort each other."Abduction at Sea" is the last story and it is a heartwarming story about a mother swordfish and what lengths she will go to to help and also to save her child.  Although these are animals, the stories can relate to human relationships as well.As an animal lover, I enjoyed these stories, but best of all, the description says that 10% of the sales of these stories will go to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to help homeless pets.
