Meetings With Remarkable Animals

£10.99

Guide dog Laura needed a new home. And, after listening to her owner talk on the radio about what would happen to her much loved guide and companion when she retired, Martin Clunes picked up the phone. He’d always been a soft touch when it came to animals. One more couldn’t hurt. Adopting Laura opened his eyes to the extraordinary care provided by assistance dogs, but also piqued his curiosity. Throughout history, our meetings with remarkable animals have eased, enriched and sometimes saved our lives in countless and surprising ways. Together with his own life-changing encounters with animals around the world, Martin celebrates the intelligence, loyalty and companionship of some truly extraordinary creatures whose lives have been entwined with our own.

The Heartwarming Journey of Animals Who’ve Guided, Rescued, and Saved Us in Surprising Ways – by National Treasure, Martin Clunes

MEET THE ANIMALS THAT MAKE US . . .

Throughout history, our relations with remarkable animals have eased, enriched, and even saved our lives in surprising ways.

Dogs guide us, rescue us, lead us, protect us and even give warning of disease. Horses go to war and rats clear mines to secure peace. Pigeons carry life-saving messages and dolphins ease our trauma. Truly, animals are there for us.

Together with his own life-changing encounters with animals around the world, Martin Clunes celebrates the intelligence, loyalty, and companionship of some truly extraordinary creatures – past and present – whose lives are so entwined with our own.
