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 Range in the western United States, Brenda Peterson regarded the animals in the forest as family from a young age, and this bond shaped her entire life. Starting with her deep infatuation with the guardian bear Smokey in her childhood, Ms. Peterson narrates her profound 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. Her vivid and heart-stirring storytelling reveals that all the wonders, losses, and revelations prove it is indeed a story of love. Each moving chapter features a pivotal turning point, as the love of animals enriches Peterson's life, guiding her to gradually realize: as a species, we cannot survive without other animals; to achieve harmony between humans and animals, we must rebuild the ark.
