Sometimes the ones who save you don’t speak your language—but they still understand. These animals don’t back down. One of many creature-filled tales in the Wee Beasties StoryBundle, curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
About Four-Legged Heroes
Kindness to Animals Often Brings Unexpected Rewards
Sharing our lives with pets gives us plenty of companionship, snuggles, and love. Especially when we rescue an animal in need.
But sometimes the animals help us instead, and in ways we never imagine.
Join pet-owned human Kari Kilgore for five fascinating tales full of wonderful creatures and the surprising ways they rescue people.
Includes The Best Judge of Human Character, The Siren’s Yowl, The Storms That Save You, The Part That Loves the Most, and Popcorn and the Precious Pebbles Antique Shop.

Curator's Note
Kari Kilgore often writes about rescue animals. But she turns that concept on its head here—or, rather, reveals it for the accurate statement that it is. Because those of us who “rescue” animals from shelters or the street know deep down that we couldn’t survive without our four-legged friends. They rescue us as much as we rescue them. – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
