In Tales2Inspire you will be treated to heartwarming stories of animal/people connections to those of amazing friendships, loyalty and love between animals of different species. Each story in this book was written by a winner of the Tales2Inspire global, annual writers' contest, anonymously selected by a jury of accomplished authors.

Although Tales2Inspire books are often compared to the "Chicken Soup For the Soul" series, T2I books offer two distinctive features that set them apart: Each story includes original photographs to enhance the reader's experience, and each book is gift sized to keep pace with our contemporary, fast paced life styles.

You will be treated to stories of lovable cats and kittens, the loyalty between service dogs and their owners, the model of fidelity we can glean from Canadian geese, the miracle of a lost cockatiel, the inexplicable recovery of a mortally ill horse, a persistently curious bunny and an equally curious blue heron, and the inspiring stories of the bonding of animals of different species.

In the words of Dr. Bernie Siegel, Animals are teachers and healers while we have much to learn. Bravo to the authors of the stories in this Garnet Collection, for opening our hearts and minds to the sanctity of all life.

The Garnet was selected as the gem to represent this set of stories for a special reason: The garnet is the gemstone symbolizing protective energy, commitment, honesty, hope and faith. As you read the stories in this book, you will recognize these inspiring traits in our fur and gathered friends.
