What the Pets Taught Me is a collection of experiences about rescued farm animals in a shelter in Sonoma Region, California, and what these animals can coach us. Each history illuminates how animals can help us see and embrace others as they are and reconnect us with the natural world. Wishing to escape the metropolitan rat race, freelance copy writer and editor Stephanie Marohn migrated to rural northern California in 1993. Life was nice. She was a active freelancer. In return for reduced hire, she given and looked after two horses and a donkey. Her life was full. Then, more farm animals started to seem: a small white horses, a donkey, sheep, birds, followed by deer and other animals. Each one needed sanctuary either from misuse, physical personal injury, or disregard. Marohn took each pet in and slowly but surely turned her 10-acre pass on into an pet sanctuary. Each chapter of What the Pets Taught Me focuses on the story of a particular pet that became part of Marohn's life. She shares what she discovered from the sheep she rescued from an pet collector, the abused donkey she helped nurse back to health, and many more to remind us that animals have much to instruct us about love, compassion, trust, and many of the qualities we so often make an effort to cultivate in ourselves. A deeply inspiring collection, What the Pets Taught Me awakens our hearts and reminds us our best life teachers sometimes come covered in fur.
