Amazing animal feats have always fascinated people. Whether it is a dog catching a Frisbee, a bear riding a bicycle, or a cat walking a tightrope, if an animal is doing something astounding, people want to see it—and always have. Performing animals are highly trained and respond by giving nothing less than their very best. From movie stars like Rin Tin Tin and Lassie, to Whiplash the cowboy monkey and legendary race horses such as Seabiscuit, this book puts animal performers center stage. With full-colour photographs, illustrations and boxes containing key items of information, each volume of Working Animals provides an attractive yet informative guide to how animals and humans work together.
