Stories of encounters between humans and animals
“I like one poet... He writes about life and hummingbirds.” An unauthorized immigrant in New York loves her library card and hopes it won’t get taken away.
Also: we visit the one corner of the world where war elephants still persist; a zookeeper tries to bring out the “wild’’ in zoo animals; an actor devotes six years waiting for a part that he doesn’t get; ranchers and wolves work out their differences; and we learn what type of music dogs like best.
