Overview

A heart-warming collection of true stories exploring the bonds formed between people and pets in times of trouble

Meet the inspirational animals who went from being rescued to becoming rescuer in these incredible true stories

You’ll read all about…
  • Constantine and Crystal, the guinea pigs who gave a bullied girl with autism a reason to smile
  • Alex, the tiger who inspired a homeless drug addict to get her life back on track
  • Angel, the horse who helped her owner to lose weight and regain her confidence
  • Daniel, the duck who was rescued from a food market and succeeded in soothing his owner’s PTSD
… as well as many other animal heroes who came to their owner’s aid – whether it was helping them to recover from mental illness, relationship breakdown or bereavement.

These remarkable creatures all repaid the love and appreciation that their human companions displayed in caring for them. Let these uplifting stories warm your heart, and show you that adopted animals can heal our pain and transform our lives.
