“Explores real-life animal pairings that touch the heart and soul of every reader and [reveal] what is possible in the animal and human world.” —Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the New York Times–bestselling series, Chicken Soup for the Soul
Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions:  Am I creating my relationships from a place of love and compassion? Isn't it just part of our animal nature to react with fear and anger? How do I change my perspective to create the healthy, joyful relationships I so desire?
 
The author found answers in what may seem an unlikely group of teachers: from a rescue mutt and a feral feline who lives in the moment without self-judgment, to a lioness who adopts an oryx and illustrates healthy parent-child relationships, to a mouse and a frog in an Indian monsoon who demonstrate how to do business in a global economy.
 
This collection of stories about unique animal friendships and families illuminate how to move beyond supposed primal instincts of anxiety and mistrust and explore what happens when you substitute love and compassion. Reading these funny and heartwarming tales, you may come to experience a change in perspective that can bring about your own healthy, joyful, relationships.
