This book will be a selection of short, non-fiction stories which demonstrate the remarkable ways in which animals help people with their mental and physical health.
The book will be uplifting and inspirational in tone, and will be structured much like the 'Chicken Soup' books. In between each tale there will be educational snippets of information about the species of animal featured in the story.
Each of the short stories will be written following a phone interview with the person who the story belongs to. Some examples of uplifting short stories could include visually impaired individuals who have gained some independence in their lives by teaming up with seeing-eye dogs, as well as how one woman who lost her arm learned to ride horses and eventually became a competitive rider.
The stories will feature an array of different animals, including more surprising creatures which most people wouldn't regard as therapeutic or beneficial to keep as pets, such as snakes or raccoons.
Towards the end of the book, I will also share a never before told story how animals have personally helped me in my life which will be a key selling point of the book as I have a very loyal and engaged audience who not only love my animals, but also enjoy my journey as human who lives and works with animals too.
This book aims to warm and inspire the reader with uplifting and emotion provoking stories of how animals and humans benefit and save each other through their unexpected relationships. In between each chapter will be a small compilation of facts about the animal featured in the story to add to the readers learning experience.
