The Zookeeper

By Ammarah Rehman

Jahangir lives a peaceful life in Nazimabad, where he resides with his wife and eagerly awaits the arrival of their first child. He attends prayers with his father and raises animals for a zoo, which is more like an animal sanctuary. Then an irresistible opportunity presents itself to Jahangir. He is entrusted with the task of accompanying a white tiger, a markhor, a parrot, and numerous parakeets on a voyage to the United States to their new owner.

On the journey, he bonds with a crewmember, Saife, another Pakistani man. But once they dock in Boston, Saife escapes the ship, and Jahangir learns that his animals are missing.

As he searches for his animals, he reunites with Saife and meets several other young men living in America, trying to survive. As the days turn to months, and his animals are still lost, he learns to adapt to his new country and provide for his family in Pakistan.

Will Jahangir find the animals before he is forced to leave the United States? Or will the promise of a better life and support for his family force him to stay?
