Is there a universal language of love, a "kinship with all life" that can open new horizons of experience? Example after example in this unique classic--from "Strongheart" the actor-dog to "Freddie" the fly--resounds with entertaining and inspiring proof that communication with animals is a wonderful, indisputable fact. All that is required is an attitude of openness, friendliness, humility, and a sense of humor to part the curtain and form bonds of real friendship. For anyone who loves animals, for all those who have ever experienced the special devotion only a pet can bring, this book is a delight. Sample these pages and you will never encounter "just a dog" again, but rather a fellow member of nature's own family.--From publisher description
