Features: This book records a real life story, a tale about animals guiding life and soul. Growing up in the vast forest of Nevada High Ridge in the western United States, Brenda Peterson has always regarded the animals in the forest as her family. This affection determined her life. Starting from her childhood obsession with the guardian bear Smoky, Ms. Peterson narrates in a vivid and engaging manner her deep kinship with various animals—from the wild grizzly bears in the Montana mountains to the horses in southern Georgia, from the Siberian dogs in New York City and Colorado to the cats in Seattle, from the wolves in the Arizona desert, Yellowstone National Park, and Alaska to the wild whales and dolphins in places like Hawaii. All the wonders, disappointments, and revelations prove that her story is indeed a story of love. Each moving chapter has a pivotal turning point, and it is the affection of animals that enriches Peterson's life, guiding her to gradually achieve enlightenment: as a species, we cannot survive without other animals; to achieve harmony between humans and animals, we must rebuild the ark.
