These adorable animal anecdotes—from a brave dog on the Titanic to a motorcycle-riding chimp—are more endearing than a collection of kitten videos! From the moving and miraculous, to the heartwarming and hilarious, to the cute and courageous, this irresistible collection is the ultimate celebration of amazing animal-related antics. More than 500 incredible brief tales, starring a wonderful assortment of creatures, reveal the bravery, loyalty, cleverness, and silliness of our animal friends. Meet a skateboarding terrier, an underwear-stealing cat, a surfing alpaca, a lion that slept in bed with his “owners,” an octopus that guessed the results of the World Cup, the turtles that shut down an airport, and a death-defying marmot who liked life in the fast lane.
There is nothing necessarily bad about this collection of true animal stories. The problem is with the title of the book. Many of the stories were not adorable. Many are not incredible. Some were also probably not true.
While reading the book I tried to search for verification on five stories. Three I could verify straight away. Another I would rate as probably true but I could only find a brief mention of it online. The fifth I couldn't find anything about at all using the details the book gave.
It isn't a bad read and one that is split into bite sized pieces. Just take those pieces with a piece of salt at times.
