In Part II of thiis book you will be treated to heartwarming stories of animal/people connections as well as stories of amazing friendships, loyalty and love between animals of different species. You will read stories of lovable cats and kittens, the loyalty between service dogs and their owners, the model of fidelity we can glean from Canadian geese, the miracle of a lost cockatiel, the inexplicable recovery of a mortally ill horse, a persistently curious bunny and an equally curious blue heron. Some of these stories reveal amazing friendships and loyalty, others the bonding of animals of different species. Each story in this book was written by a winner of a Tales2Inspire global, annual writers' contest, anonymously selected by a jury of accomplished authors. Although Tales2Inspire books are often compared to the "Chicken Soup For the Soul" series, T2I books offer two distinctive features that set them apart: Each story includes original photographs to enhance the reader's experience, and each story is contained within several powerful pages to keep pace with our contemporary, fast paced life styles.
