A book filled with stories of compassion flowing not just from humans, but from some of our furred and feathered friends as well. For among all living creatures, we see evidence of an emotional connection, and often a response, to others in time of need. Although these stories contain feelings of warmth, tenderness, sensitivity or concern for the plight of another, compassion needs to extend beyond simply feelings, to acting on those feelings in some positive way. And herein lies the powerful gift of each inspiring story in this book - stories of compassion fulfilled, actions taken and results achieved to satisfy the bestthat lies within us.
