The Wonderful Thing About Pets: Remarkable Stories About the Animals Who Share Our Lives

This anthology documents the surprising and wonderful ways animals have expressed their love for the people and other animals in their lives. The Wonderful Thing About Pets does not contain clichd stories about orphaned puppies or stray kittens. These stories are unusual, like the iguana that saved it's owner's life; they are humorous, like the hamster who consistently out-picks the pros at football pools; they are touching, like the rabbit who acts as a "seeing-eye dog" to another rabbit; and they have made national news headlines, like the cat who braved a blazing inferno to rescue its kittens.  The author, Gary Burghoff, is the host of the successful public television show "Pets: part of the family." Gary has long been known as an animal activist, and his efforts both on and off the show have recently been featured in People and Time magazines. With illustrations by award-winning artist Greg Dearth, this collection defines the depth and timelessness of the human-animal bond.
