Close Encounters of the Animal Kind

By Richard T Antony

Whether you own pets or not, live in a high-rise apartment or a sod house on the Prairie, we are surrounded by animals of all descriptions. While some folks take great pleasure in seeing song birds at their feeder, a squirrel skittering up a tree trunk, or a great bird of prey flying overhead, others tend to be far more ambivalent about such things. You might be a dog person, a cat person, or someone who cannot fathom why anyone would invite an animal into their home. Then, this book is for you. You'll find vignettes about insects too small to see with the unaided eye, 500-pound black bears, and just about everything in between. Some of the stories will be inspiring, some merely "interesting." Others tend to be a bit heart-wrenching.Even if you harbor a deep-seated fear of creepy things (think snakes and spiders), this book might help you find a new appreciation for all God's creatures (most of them, at least). While it might challenge logic that a story about a goldfish or a black snake could dramatically alter one's worldview, once you read these stories, and the many others, you might have second thoughts about a lot of things. Perhaps you're merely curious about what goes "bump" in the night. In that case, this book can definitely help. Even if you have no real interest in animals, you'll find stories that are amusing, instructional, intriguing, and in some cases, even elevating.
