Animal Helpers

Age range 6+

Animal Helpers is a book about the extraordinary bond between humans and animals, which is everlasting. Animals serve as hard workers, friends, and faithful companions; they have been with us since time immemorial. Some are close to us, while others we treat with great respect.

Animals help us in many ways: dogs as guides, elephants as warriors, cats as gods, cheetahs as hunters, pigeons as postmen, horses as therapists, dolphins as rescuers, pigs as truffle hunters, geese as guards, camels as racers, and cows as carriers.

To find out more, open this book, feast your eyes on its pictures, and read the stories about how wild animals became helpers and true friends of humans.

Dogs bark, yap, nuzzle, and wag their tails when happy. They cuddle and show love by licking their master or mistress all over with their pink, wet tongues. Who do we mean? Why, the dog of course! For us people, dogs make faithful, lifelong friends. Indeed, the first tamed wolves walked at the side of prehistoric hunters 35,000 years ago.
