From Elephants to Mice (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | James Mahoney | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A beautifully written narrative that tells the stories of the many animals who have touched the soul of longtime veterinarian James Mahoney
From wild Asian elephants to "lowly" field mice, this collection of stories relates the poignant experiences Dr. James Mahoney has shared with animals throughout his career as a veterinarian and as a compassionate animal lover. He serves as a voice for all the creatures whose tales he tells, including:
-
Loki, the South Indian elephant branded as a killer who is captured but resists being broken
-
The Caribbean Trio of dogs who find their way home with the author to America and demonstrate amazing powers of love and devotion
- The Three Wild Mice, a threesome of clever females who conspire to outsmart their human host and show him the importance of freedom
While each story stands alone, together they provide a compelling case for recognizing each animal as an individual endowed with certain rights. When even a small fish in a pond can demonstrate what seems to be a sense of humor, how can we overlook the contributions that every animal makes to our world?
