In the Company of Animals

Real-life tales that explore the complexities of human-animal relationships—from domestic pets to farm animals to wildlife.

In this collection, thirty-seven writers from across Canada tell thought-provoking stories of extraordinary encounters with a variety of animals—from rats and salamanders to wolves and bears. From tributes to a favorite cat or dog to tales of a chance encounter with a moose or a cougar, these stories are sure to entertain and enlighten. The writers are people who spend time in the company of animals—pet owners, farmers, veterinarians, hunters, artists, landowners, game wardens—those who pay close attention to them and their natures, and the lessons they can teach us.
