Publisher's Synopsis
A passionate and humane book about how animals behave if they are treated with decency and respect. John Bryant introduces us to a selection of animals from the sanctuary: dogs, birds, cats, goats, horses, and so on, and shows us how the natural life of these animals differs from the life they experience in conventional farms or in lives where they have to work for a living.;Under his pen, the animals become characters with their own personalities. However, the book also performs an much-needed propaganda purpose in telling lay-people about how animals live in communities and with humans, and points the way to a more humane future.
