Hi!

I recently completed a book talk for Cleveland Armory's "The Cat Who Came
For Christmas." It inspired me to compile a reading list to put together a
future display based on books about pets/animals that changed the courses
of peoples' lives.

"The Dog Who Rescues Cats" by Philip Gonzalez also comes to mind. Any
suggestions?

Non-fiction works are preferable (because of their realistic impact), but
I would not rule out any fiction
titles.

I thank you all, in advance.

A very inspiring NF bk-"Scarlett Saves Her Family" by Jane Martin. I
believe that the heroic behavior of this cat affected many lives.
