Item Description

In "Unlikely Heroes," New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Holland uncovers and celebrates a side of animals that we often think belongs primarily to people - heroism, that indefinable quality of going above and beyond, often for altruistic reasons, often at great personal risk. These 37 inspiring true tales show animals whose quick acts have saved lives, as well as animals who simply and unselfishly give. And there are compelling stories of heroic resilience: like Naki'o, the abandoned puppy who lost all four paws to frostbite but found the grit not only to overcome that terrible hardship but to reclaim the joy of life. That's him, smiling on the cover of the book.
