Cleveland Amory started an animal sanctuary in Texas, the Black Beauty Ranch. They’ve had cats, burros, horses, chimpanzees (including Nim Chimpsky), elephants, foxes, prairie dogs, goats and probably others that aren’t coming to my head at this moment. This book tells how the sanctuary got started and many stories of the animals that have come to live there.

I really enjoyed this! It was very fast to read and there were separate chapters devoted to each species. He does also tell of some of the sad stories that led to the various critters coming to live there. ( )

A good read about a man's dream. ( )

This is an enjoyable and inspirational story of people practicing what they preach. I liked hearing the tales of the individual animals and learned some things about animal cruelty. Amory had a big heart. ( )
