Guide-dog Laura needed a new home. And, after listening to her owner,
Jaina, talk on the radio about what would happen to her much loved
guide and companion when she retired, Martin Clunes picked up the
phone. He’d always been a soft touch when it came to animals. One more
couldn’t hurt.
Adopting Laura opened his eyes to the extraordinary care provided by
assistance dogs, but also piqued his curiosity. Throughout history, our
meetings with remarkable animals have eased, enriched, and sometimes
saved our lives in countless and surprising ways.
Our canine friends have guided us, rescued us, led us, protected us and
even given early warning of illness, but dogs are only part of the
story. From the horses that went to war with the Light Brigade, to the
mine-clearing Gambian Pouched Rat called Courage that helped make the
peace, and from the pigeons carrying life-saving messages to the wild
dolphin called Jock who befriended a traumatised young woman in
Australia, in peace and war animals have always been there for us.
Together with his own life-changing encounters with animals around the
world, Martin has celebrated the intelligence, loyalty, and
companionship of some truly extraordinary creatures whose lives have
been entwined with our own. By turns heart-warming, inspiring and
always fascinating, Meetings With Remarkable Animals gives us a chance
to meet them too.
