UNLIKELY LOVES: 43 Heartwarming True Stories from the Animal Kingdom

These stories truly ARE heartwarming – accompanied by beautiful, amazing photos. Some of the “odd couple” relationships are: a macaque, rabbit and guinea pig; a boa constrictor and a pit bull; a pig and a dog; a giraffe and a kudu (a kind of antelope); a boy and wild marmots (a type of rodent); a dolphin and a sea lion; a dolphin and sperm whales; a hound and a fox. Often, these loving relationships developed while the animals were orphaned and in a rescue facility. Other times, the animals were living wild and came together without any human encouragement. Sometimes, one animal would become a protector of the other, for example, a dog who chose to take care of an old, sick horse.
This is a sequel to Holland’s best-selling UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIPS.
