Acknowledgments

This project was very much a collaborative effort, as there would be no stories were it not for the storytellers. They were pet owners, zookeepers, animal rescuers, photographers, biologists, and other animal lovers who witnessed interspecies interactions, realized the moments were special, and were willing to share what they saw. My deepest thanks to the kind people, many of them quoted in these texts, who patiently provided information and images to make the collection possible.

I am also extremely grateful to the staff at Workman Publishing, especially Raquel Jaramillo for seeking me out to do this project and kindly praising the result, Beth Levy for shepherding the manuscript through copyediting and proofreading, and Melissa Lucier for her tireless efforts tracking down photographs all around the world.

Finally, I thank my family, friends, and colleagues who helped along the way. They include but are not limited to:

• Lynne Warren, for kindly editing the first messy draft

• Melanie Costello, for keeping me organized and confident

• Penny Bernstein, for endless ideas and support

• Mari Parker and Chen Yiqing, for translations

• Lorie Holland, for enthusiastic promotion and sales advice

• My husband, John, for tolerating the ups and downs and my obsessive reading aloud

• My niece and nephews for giving me the best reasons of all to tell these tales

• My much-adored mother, for passing on her love of animals to me.
