Unlikely Loves 43 Heartwarming True Stories from the Animal Kingdom Unlikely Friendships Jennifer S Holland Books

My wonderful two dogs gave me this book for my birthday, and each night before bed, my husband and I read a couple chapters to give us something special to put in our minds before we fell asleep. We were disappointed when the book was over!

I cannot praise this book enough! The stories are sweet without being sappy, fun without being contrived. But what really makes this book special are the amazing photographs of the animal friends together. They are sharp, beautiful, and so appealing that I can stare at them for a very long time.

I also appreciate that the stories are generally about animals who became friends by their own choice rather than being made to become friends by humans who forced them to mix. Even when introduced by humans, usually because they were rescued as babies and needed another young friend to learn to socialize, they continued to choose to remain friends when offered the chance to move on in life.

All the stories are amazing, so it's hard to select ones to highlight here, but I'll describe four of my favorites. I love the story of the African tortoise who decided that the perfect place for himself was at the bottom of the pile of ten great Dane puppies and who even ran with them (amazingly even outpacing some!), played with them, and ate the puppy mush with them!

There are also two particularly wonderful stories of animals who saved the life of others of another breed. A litter of kittens were at risk of dying because they wouldn't take a bottle after being bereft of their mother. So the female dog of the house noticed them and picked them up one by one by the nape of the neck in the same way she had done with her own puppies a year and a half earlier, carrying them to her own dog bed. And even though she hadn't had puppies in so long, her maternal instincts and the kittens' need inspired her to lactate, producing milk to feed the babies! How special!

The other story that I found so inspiring was the love between a donkey and a sheep. After they had been close for a while, a pit bull attacked the sheep, whom the owner saw dragging the dog as it hung onto the sheep's neck. She tried with no success to beat the dog with a pipe when she heard a scream of rage, and the donkey ran into the fray with no hesitation about its own safety and attacked the pit bull. The three animals struggled for quite some time, but the donkey ultimately saved the life of its sheep friend and remained by the side of the sheep as it spent a year recuperating, the most loyal of friends. This story was so special that it brought tears to my eyes!

And to conclude with a whole lot of fun, if for nothing else, you ought to read this book just to learn about the swan who fell deeply in love with a plastic swan boat! They even put the two together in the zoo to weather the winter together, but when they tried to introduce the swan (with its boat of course!) to other swans, yet another swan was smitten by the boat!

This book was so great that I have now ordered the author's first book, and I also bought a copy of this book to send to my favorite animal-loving family for them to enjoy together, which I understand they are doing.

My dogs showed very good taste in selecting an appropriate birthday present for me! Thank you, Liberty and Teddy Bear, for many evenings of joy with this book!

Unlikely Loves 43 Heartwarming True Stories from the Animal Kingdom Unlikely Friendships Jennifer S Holland Books Reviews

This is such a great read for the young right through the ages. It’s full of many lessons of love and kindness between animals that should be arch enemies. I explained to my grandchildren that it’s much the same in the human world, you can apply the same lessons, and looks for good in all individuals!
Really fun filled with a variety of heartwarming stories with plenty of different animals.
This book is great. We originally bought it to use during traveling with my 5yr old son who loves animals. It has some cool stories that are very short, about 2-3 pages each describing an unlikely bond between different kinds of animals. It includes pictures of each one and the stories are written simply enough to engage kids. My son enjoys having us read it to him and even reads some of it himself.
This book has something for everyone who loves animals. It is heartwarming, sweet, sometimes sad. It tells stories of orphaned or lonely animals who find love and their place in our tough world. The stories are brief, to the point, and warm the heart.
Loved all of this except snake and dog picture. Don't know why dog would allow such a thing and does anyone think this is going to end well. All other pictures and articles illustrate why people shouldn't say in a derogatory manner that some people act like animals. If we acted more like most animals world would probably be a nicer place!
I enjoyed this book and read it quickly. I do recommend it for people who love animals. It proves that people can learn a lot from animals if we don't think of them as a lesser creation.

The only really bad thing was that there were 2 or 3 chapters in which several paragraphs of each chapter were repeated word-for-word within the chapter. It was annoying. Only one chapter had a repeat set of paragraphs near the end, the chapter ended, and it seemed like it was incomplete.
When my mom became bed bound and very ill, I looked for something that we could do together that would be something uplifting to her and something we could share together. I had bought a copy of this book because I love animals and enjoy the stories and enjoyed the beautiful photography. What I love about the book is that most of the stories are with a happy ending ( a few of the animals have moved on or passed away) and they are short, most being between 2-4 pages or so. It was perfect for me to read between 1-3 stories a visit and brought a smile to my mom's face. She had always loved to read and we always had animals, so this seemed a perfect fit. She already told me early on that when we finish this book she hopes that I can bring another because she is enjoying them so much. I find that they are the perfect length and there is not an intricate plot to keep in her head or something that we have to start and stop. The stories are heartwarming and we've learned a lot about the different animals as we have read. I will be purchasing the Unlikely Friendships when I finish this one most likely because we are enjoying this so much. I would highly recommend to children, older kids, older adults or anyone who loves animals. It is an especially nice book to read to someone who is small, ill or older that can't read for themselves. It is upbeat and just plain makes you feel good!
