Babies are blessed with such open-mindedness that they can talk and understand other creatures. As adults, we often lose that language.
Growing up on the slopes of the Menengai Crater in Kenya, Jacinta Wangari lived in a world where the animals didn't just share the compound-they ran it. In this second installment of the P.E.T.S series, the clueless narrator becomes a keen observer of the four-legged characters that shaped her childhood.
Meet Scooby Doo, the golden-brown dog who lived like a restless husband and treated the home like a transit hotel. Experience the musical chairs of a litter of twelve puppies, the lethal reflexes of a hunting dog named Melon, and the silent wisdom of an introverted shepherd named Major.
Told with dry humor and a researcher's eye for detail, these are true stories of grief, joy, and the African reasons behind a life lived among animals. It is a tribute to the creatures who stay with us for only a brief period of our lives, but for whom we are their entire world.
