Full Description
In this unforgettable book, Billy Thompson shares the story of a life driven by compassion and care for all creatures. Having had an affinity for animals his entire life, Billy has found that animals needing help have somehow found him over the years - beginning with feral cats, unwanted dogs and even a pony brought to safety on a bus.
While working in many different jobs, Billy continued to rescue animals in need, from the domestic to the exotic, his rescue efforts taking him all over the world. This book tells some of those hundreds of stories, including tricky situations, unlikely friendships and many, many rescues, all driven by ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Above all, this is a story about how, whoever you are and whatever you are doing, you can always help an animal in need.
