A Book-of-the-Month Club, Quality Paperback Book Club, and One
Spirit Selection. "The day we met Cuny] was feeding five beautiful
yearlings intravenously, who surely would have died from
dehydration, while she simultaneously supervised the feeding of
skunks, possums, squirrels-you name it. She is selfless and
dauntless in her battle to rescue and rehabilitate animals. I feel
privileged to know her and serve on her board. There are few better
qualified to look through the eyes of an animal. It is a beautiful,
touching book." Loretta Swit, actress "Heartwarming tales of
rescued creatures are presented in this collection of vignettes
from a large wildlife rehabilitation center . . . Cuny's love for
her charges shines through in her stories." -- Booklist "Her brief
stories are often touching, such as when she describes a young
raccoon, rescued from a fire, self-medicating its burned paws with
aloe vera plants; or two crab-eating macaques, confined inside a
research facility for eighteen years, experiencing the outdoors for
the first time." -- Natural History "This book deserves a spot on
every library shelf along with such nonfiction animal story
classics as Adamson's Born Free, North's Rascal, and the work of
Jane Goodall . . . Cuny's achievement is in her ability to present
the animals' experiences in a factual, sympathetic, but
unsentimental tone."-- Appraisal: Science Books for Young
PeopleLynn's stories from Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation
(WRR) range from the humorous to the tragic, from the surprising to
the inevitable. The animals she describes range from the day-old
field mouse to the three-legged coyote; from a fox-loving hen to
the exotic and abused mountain lions, macaque monkeys and black
bears. Always, she reveals the dignity of each animal, trying to
survive in a world made cruel and dangerous by the thoughtlessness
of humans.
