Summary

Every once in a while, when you put people and animals together, something amazing happens. Something that stands out even above the wags, licks, tussles, and strokes that we enjoy so much from our pets. Something that causes us to stand in amazement at the incredible ways animals can express themselves. And every once in a while, a book brings these remarkable stories together. Join longtime animal lover Gary Burghoff (a.k.a. Radar O'Reilly on M*A*S*H) as he shares this collection of 36 completely true -- and completely heartwarming -- stories.
