PEOPLE is about people - except when it"s about pets. PEOPLE"s Best Pet and Animal Stories brings 35 years of great pet and animal stories and one-of-a kind pictures together in one book. The book will feature chapters on celebrities and their pets; hero pets; strange friends; unusual pets (the buffalo in the living room, the giraffe in the backyard); and I -can"t-believe-they-do-that pets (who can forget Bert, the skydiving dachshund?). If you like pets, own a pet or, perhaps, even are a pet, this is the book for you. Caution: may cause even hardened cynics to smile.
