Random Acts of Kindness by Animals
Peaceful Kingdomchronicles amazing true stories of devotion and bravery from the animal world. Included are both well-publicized cases, such as the gorilla who tenderly carried an injured child to safety, and the more obscure--the German shepherd who visited the grave of his deceased owner every day at the same hour. Even ants are caught in heroic acts: they're observed pulling a thorn from an injured comrade. The animals in this book are viewed as compassionate, thinking creatures that experience real emotions--hardly news to animal lovers.Peaceful Kingdomalso reflects human acts of kindness to animals. Edward Lear, the famous author of "The Owl and the Pussycat," built his new house as an exact replica of his old one to keep from traumatizing his beloved cat.Peaceful Kingdomis an intriguing and heartwarming journey into the lives of some astonishing animals.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
