Brand new softcover book, published 2008, 200 pages.

Amazing stories of kind, brave and devoted animals

If you have ever loved an animal, you know that there is something special about them.
Random Acts of Kindness by Animals proves it, through amazing and heartwarming true tales of animal compassion, devotion, and bravery. In the pages of this book readers will meet remarkable dogs and cats, as well as gorillas, dolphins, bears, seagulls, rats, birds, and one heroic pig! Even ants are caught practicing compassion, as they're observed pulling a thorn from an injured comrade.

Included are well-publicised stories, such as the gorilla that carried an injured child to safety, as well as the more obscure, like the German Shepherd that visited the grave of his deceased owner every day at the same hour. This sweet book also reflects human acts of kindness to animals. Edward Lear, 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.

These true, heartwarming stories tell of remarkable animals who have performed amazing acts of love and compassion. Meet a chimpanzee who nursed his human companion through a grave illness, a duck who warned an entire town about an air raid, three beavers who saved a boy from freezing to death, and many more incredible members of the animal kingdom.

Random Acts of Kindness by Animals proves that these are thinking creatures with real emotions - hardly news to animal lovers - and provides a window into the lives of some amazing critters!
