About this title

About the Author:

Brad and Sherry Steiger have written dozens of books on a variety of inspirational, religious, and animal themes, including The Strange Power of Pets, Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides, and Angels Over Their Shoulder. They live in Forest City, Iowa

From School Library Journal:

YA-The Steigers, coauthors of a great many popular works on a wide variety of outre subjects ranging from angels to UFO abductions, focus on latter-day animals as heroic (and perhaps angelic) beings. They begin with the story of Brando, a mumbling macaw who had never spoken an intelligible word until he suddenly came out with a clear and urgent "Help me! Somebody please help me!" (thereby alerting his householders to the plight of an injured man). The book then offers 50 brief anecdotes that tell of amazing and seemingly miraculous animal feats. Since many of these selections were sent to the authors by readers of their previous books, they reflect a variety of spiritual traditions. A similar diversity is shown among the animal heroes, which include not just cats, dogs, and dolphins but also crows, a potbellied pig, one very large and one very small sea turtle working in tandem, sea lions, and even a rat in a coal mine. After about 175 edifying pages that describe deliverances from such dangers as fire, drowning, sharks, and unreasoning fear, the Steigers touch very lightly upon a number of related topics including the health benefits of pets, pet ghosts, and animal ESP. Satisfactory and enjoyable browsing material for teens and ESL readers.
