   Fascinating! I learned so much about kangaroos and pot bellied pigs. My favorite animal was the potbellied pig Buttercup who helped bring an autistic child out of his shell. These stories show how animals and humans can share a beautiful bond. It made me appreciate and view animals in a new way.
