Animal Heroes is full of stories of astonishing courage shown by family pets and wild animals alike.

Read about: the amazing courage of Stubby, a stray dog who braved the front line with soldiers in World War I; the resourcefulness of Moko, a bottlenose dolphin which guided a mother whale and her calf back out to sea; and the gentle empathy of Magic, a miniature pony which helped a woman speak again after three years of silence.

These and many more accounts of extraordinary feats by an array of animals will warm your heart even as they stun you.
