‘Man’s inhumanity to man is only surpassed by his cruelty to animals’- George Bernard Shaw
In this lovely book you will read stories written by people who have chosen, by an innate moral conscience to rescue animals…and for sure there are plenty out there that need rescuing. The majority of these incredible stories are about dogs and cats- domesticated animals/pets that we consider most worthy and numerous of rescuing. But of course all animals matter- every life is precious and should be protected at all costs. For this reason it was important to include other species too-cetaceans, birds, horses etc. If an animal is suffering then it needs saving.
What will become apparent to you whilst reading this book (if you are not already an animal rescuer) is the extraordinary lengths some people will go to in order to save a life; those who sacrifice their health, lifestyle, bank balances and sometimes their sanity on a daily basis should be applauded.
Read about the men from the Severn Trent Water board, UK who dangled precariously down a water drain to rescue a trapped coot and the little boys in TRNC who saved baby turtles from certain death. Inspirational stuff! These people are special but sadly in a minority.
Admire the exceptional resilience of the three dogs who overcame abuse, neglect and torture to become adored and ‘famous’ pets. Watson- thrown out like rubbish on a highway in Larnaca, S.Cyprus who later became a model and pin-up for glossy magazines. Maggie May- with a badly smashed leg, who was rescued from a muddy field in Bulgaria and survived amputation to now serve as a therapy dog. And Sam, rescued from imminent death after being dragged behind a car in Turkey, whose life was saved by a skilled and compassionate Turkish vet and who has since featured on national TV in the Netherlands.
You will just love reading all these success stories!
These emotional rescues will bring a tear to your eyes, but also give you hope. They were only possible thanks to the ‘dogged’ determination and compassion of their rescuers!
All these true stories are written by individuals/groups/charities located in vastly different parts of the world: USA, Turkey, Egypt, Bulgaria, UK, Romania, TRNC, Netherlands and Bali. Every one of them is making a difference to the lives of animals in that country.
By purchasing this book you are already helping save lives because all royalties made will go directly to the rescuers who contributed stories. Please be aware that some of the content is not suitable for young children.
I hope you enjoy reading these amazing tales and share them with your friends and family. If we support each other then together we can make this world a better place for animals by showing them the respect and compassion they deserve.
