Creature Features

“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans,” said James Herriot, author of All Creatures Great and Small. So the people featured on the following pages must be part animal, because they have nothing but love, loyalty, and gratitude for the four-legged creatures they care for. You’ll find stories about a human touch technique that heals dogs, cats, horses, and all their brethren; a sanctuary for racehorses that are past their prime; and a man’s ode to his best furry friend. Enjoy.

Going Nowhere and Loving It

Although I have had occasional recourse to the word “charming” in reviews, I have seldom attended a show to which it applied more perfectly. The young singers sang with delightful purity and style, and fit their actions perfectly to the mood and pace of the piece.
