About this title

Synopsis

A collection of stories and amazing facts about animals of all kinds includes tales of talking elephants, psychic cats, heroic dogs, a telepathic horse, and other animals with unique abilities

Reviews

Some of these tales feature figures so familiar they have passed into folklore: Greyfriars Bobby, Clever Hans, the Custer wolf, wartime animal heroes. Interspersed among the main stories are two- or three-line snippets: about an Alsatian dog, ordained by a mail-order ministry, that performed a wedding ceremony or the maddened rabbit that attacked Jimmy Carter's canoe. In addition to pet stories, there are tales about birds, snakes, pigs, dolphins and sharks. Adamoli, a translator of Italian film scripts, offers a collection of animal trivia ranging from the bizarre to the banal. Only for readers absolutely besotted with animals. Photos.
