Amazing Animal Friends

A parrot that pals around with a pussycat. A duck that's obsessed with a dog. A young, orphaned deer that has found friendship with a herd of cows. From a wild animal rehabilitation center in Zimbabwe to a centuries-old manor house in Paris to an apartment in Brooklyn, unusual animal relationships are happening everywhere. We examine six remarkable pairings, reveal what makes each partnership work, and discover how these species complement and support each other in fascinating and heart-warming ways.
