"An inspiring collection of true stories written with respect and affection for wild animals."

Betty White, actress/author

“This book went straight to my heart for emphasizing something that is often missed by the zoo-going public? The emotional commitment between those who care for zoo animals and their exotic charges….Truly, these relationships are beautiful to behold.”

W. Clark Bunting, President and General Manager, Discovery Emerging Networks, Discovery Communications, Inc.

"Expect to laugh, cry and read in astonishment about the lengths these vets must go to save their uncommon patients. From the hilarious and madcapped to the heartwarming and tragic, this wonderful collection of stories is sure to inspire a whole new generation of wildlife veterinarians. Dr. Lucy Spelman and her colleagues show amazing dedication to their work, but they're also cutting-edge scientists who must pioneer new techniques for their patients. They have enormous affection for all manner of incredible creatures and I admire these courageous professionals who routinely put themselves in danger to save the animals in their care."
