This is an astounding true story. If you ever wondered about cognition in animals, or even whether animals have souls, this is a story that will have you re-examining all you've been told about animals being "lesser" than humans.

There are some tragic incidents - I literally cried on the train on my morning commute one day, a little embarrassing - but that is how powerful the story is. Animal lovers will find that this is a story that they cannot forget.
